thanks, that works perfectly

The reason I do that (and I'm not saying it's a good reason 8) is that I 
have a lot of messages in my inbox and I want to tab to new messages.
That becomes an issue for really long threads where new messages can be
buried many screens down.  I could just sync my mailbox when I delete a bunch
of stuff but with ~10k messages on a pentium that can be slow.  I also use
the new message count on the status bar to see if there's something I need
to look at and I don't want deleted stuff to show up in the count.
