So you give up a bunch of conveniences by reading messages in a group of 10. But you gain the time of not having to retrieve messages 2-10 individually. It seems that you can't have your cake and eat it too. I noticed that too. In BrowseMaster they have implemented it and have had troubles with it. Many times (most of the time)when downloading multiple messages at a time the box gets misaligned with the message and winds up hiding text. I wonder if this is hard to program? I'm curious why you want the feature. Do you remember the number of messages you want to go to? Why? (not trying to be a smart-ass, just don't understand how this is particularly useful).
