[ScottChapman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.4 (20070604)

The previous version had next/prev buttons when viewing a message in a separate window. This enabled quick run through of all the messages.

The buttons were missing from 2.0. I did add them back, but they do not appear to do anything

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Double click a message to open in a separate window
2. customize the toolbar to add next/prev buttons
3. click them
Actual Results:  
nothing happens

Expected Results:  
expected to move to the next/prev message in the message list

They only operate on unread messages. (And if you are talking about the new back/forward buttons, those are for history.)

Got it.

It seems that the next/prev buttons should also be able to iterate through the messages in your list (not just the unread ones).

Perhaps holding down a key could result in going to the next unread (or something).

But without any qualification, one would expect that pressing the button would take you to the next (or previous) button...

That's bug 235666.

->INVALID, since the buttons clearly work

In version 2.0.06 I also find the next and back keys in the tool bar do not work. In previous versions they work but only for unread messages. Since downloading 2.0.06 nothing happens with the keys.

Michael: please read the bug before commenting. Next and previous are not the same as Back and Forwards.
