Build Identifier: 8.0b7

I would like to be able to customize the message opening (upon delete) feature for each mailbox.  Specifically, whether it opens the next message, previous message, next new message, no message.  If it's already something in the build, then please let me know how to configure it.

I order my messages by date.  Some by ascending date, some by descending date.  So new messages clump either at the top or bottom of the mailbox window.

1) I want the one for descending date (newer messages first) as such:  When I delete the message, I want it to open the next message BELOW if it is new.  If not, it just closes and brings me back to the mailbox view.  Right now, it will open the next message, even if it is already read).

2) For the ascending (newer messages last), I want it to open the next message (if new).  If the next message is read or there are none, it closes.  Right now, it has the very annoying habit of opening the previous message (since it is now the "last" message.  Every time I read/delete new E-mail, that "last" message will pop up.

3) Default for mailboxes could be simply close on delete.

I would like to be able to customize this feature because otherwise, if I have messages lying around in my inbox for a period of time, they continuously get opened!

Reproducible: Always
