Description Tim White 2001-10-31 16:09:28 UTC 
Description of Problem: 

When you have finished viewing an email and want to close the email 
window, the default Outlook action of pressing ESC does not work. 
Although I hadn't realised it, I actaully use that key alot and it would 
be nice for it to work.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Arrow up or down to choose the message you want to view.
2. Press Enter to open the message.
3. Read message then press ESC to close it.

Actual Results:
Pressing ESC does nothing.

Expected Results:
Might be nice to close the message like outlook does.

How often does this happen? 
Everytime.

Additional Information:
This product looks amazing. Cool work guys.

feature = future
Comment 4 Tim White 2003-01-15 08:39:35 UTC 
Anymore news on when this will be implemented? It seems like a
reasonably simple feature to implement, and would save lots of mouse
clicks for me.
