Iirc, the previous behavior was broken: `next unread' and the  
others should select the appropriate message relative to the one  
that's showing in the message window; what they actually did was  
show the next one relative to the message currently selected in  
the mailbox index.

So long as you have only one message window open, and you use  
only its controls to change messages, that works fine.  But if  
you have two messages showing in separate message windows, it  
could be really confusing.

However...not highlighting the newly displayed message in the  
index wasn't a good idea, as you point out.  The current cvs  
version now both:
- selects the new message relative to the one showing in the  
message window; and
- highlights the new message in the mailbox index.

Thanks for pointing that out!
