Many mail user agents open the next message after you delete a message you are reading. Microsoft Outlook tries to do this. How do you determine what the next message is?

Say you have a list:

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4

If you delete list item 3, what's the next item?

4

2

But Outlook reads UPWARDS.
