Description Jon Biddell 2001-03-02 08:04:48 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: kmail
Version: 1.1.99 (KDE 2.0.1)
Severity: normal
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS: Linux 2.2.16 i686 (SuSE)

This may/may not be a bug but even when the mailbox list of the contents of the mailbox 
have "focus" the arrow keys still scroll the currently selected message only.

Is this a bug and if not is it fixable ?  Scrolling through a list of messages is sometimes
preferable with the arrows.

This is intended behavior.

Try left arrow and right arrow or "P" and "N" instead.

It's a feature and IMHO a very nice one. Try also Ctrl-Left Ctrl-Up
etc.

This is a feature. See the documentation for how the keys work.

Perhaps keyboard navigation could be better documented.
