Mail - reading messages in newsgroups

Final thing:
anyone else notice if you're reading messages in Windows Mail that there is
an up and a down arrow to read the next / previous messages - as always.
EXCEPT that the down arrow now shows PREVIOUS and the up arrow shows NEXT .
Since when does DOWN = previous ?
< MAIL refresh> just popped up again over this window. I'm done

Re: Mail - reading messages in newsgroups

Well I'm on my X64 Beta 2 and newsgroup reading arrows are correct here.
Clicking NEXT got me thru this thread. In x86 clicking " the down arrow"
reads the previous message rather than reading down and expanded thread.

Re: Mail - arrows for reading messages in newsgroups

It occurred to me - maybe the position is incorrect,
so I took a snap of Vista Mail screen and it looks like that's my problem:
gif inserted here ( need html on to view)
See how OE has previous= on Left, Next = on the right ?
When I hover over my x86 Mail icons the wording is just like OE, BUT my arrows are wrong !
Does yours look like this too ? Maybe if I turn on "text labels" it would be right - I didn't try it yet, but will later.

Re: Mail x86 - arrows for reading messages in newsgroups

Here's what Mail screen looks like in x86 with label on: (gif insert - need html on)
See how Previous = down arrow and Next = up arrow.
Submitted feedback.

Re: Mail x86 - arrows for reading messages in newsgroups

To be honest mine is nothing like that. The first arrow is pointing UP and means PREVIOUS, and then the next arrow (on the right) is pointing DOWN, NEXT

Re: Mail x86 - arrows for reading messages in newsgroups

Does changing whether the messages are sorted "Newest on Top" or "Oldest on
Top" change the orientation of the arrows? I'd try it but I don't have any
mail set up in Vista.

Re: Mail x86 - arrows for reading messages in newsgroups

Good Idea, tried, and no.

In fact, if you re-sort the mail (say by date sent) the mail is obviously
switched into different order, yet the arrows and tags stay exactly the
same...
