I use the scroll wheel of the mouse for that. Focus does not have to be
shifted to the Preview Pane, only that the mouse pointer be in the window.
It's all choice I guess. Good luck.

Hi Jim!

I'm already doing that. I'm also using the Refresh button and the Copy To
button. However, for wading through a bunch of messages in Preview mode,
there is a difference between moving to the next message and the behavior
using the space bar. Using the space bar pages through the message text in
preview mode before moving on to the next message. Using the Next Unread
message button means that you only see the first 'page' of a message.
