re: "These are features that I don't use at all: #7 is E. Display at least X characters but no more than Y (When displaying multiple messages, display at least the first X characters of a message but don't display more than Y where X and Y are set in the user's configuration)" John, you may be using this feature without realizing it because X and Y are preset to default values. But without this feature when you "get 100" messages all those messages will be strung together in their entireties regardless of how long each message is. So if one message is 10 screens long and you don't want to read it you'll have to scroll until all 10 screens are gone. I set my X/Y to 800/1400 so that any message less than 1401 characters is totally displayed but if it is larger then I only see the first 800 characters. I've found that 800 characters is enough for me to decide if I want to click on the message number to see the rest of it.
