I am wondering what is the easiest way or any way to make tree views navigable by

first letter navigation. I am modifying the Thunder Bird scripts by Daniel Dalton and would like to see first letter navigation both in the address and also in the address book?

Ah yes... Well I suggest putting the tree view in a list box.

Not sure how exactly.
But you would have to somehow  add all the folder names to a variable.
Maybe using a loop.

How do I add a variable to another variable?
So if I had the words:
hello
hi
Daniel
on the screen and my loop would add each word to the variable called "list" how is this done? Sorry but I am learning c and haven't written a script for nearly six months. (I have only written some basic stuff)

BTW Scott, I will soon be moving to linux. So I won't have a compiler to test on. I am happy to give advice. But there isn't much to motivate me if I don't actually use the software. I will probably use "mutt" but I am more than happy to help you out with little bits of code.
Some things I think could be useful:
-First letter navigation
-Automatically speaking dialogs
-better unread and read notifications
-Better support in the compose window (vista users)
-More hot keys
-better reading with the alt 1 through 6 hot keys
-Make a double press of alt 1 to 6 display info in the vv.
-automatically turn language detection off in a message.
-Option to automatically read the message or just place the cursor at the top of the message. (This probably isn't hard to add)
-better reading with insert b (don't speak graphics)
-Turn off graphics reading in certain situations to stop it being annoying. (We could even make it configurable)

And more...
This won't all be easy but here are some suggestions. I am happy to help you with ideas and code if you want. But I don't have time or the compiler to test code out and write lots of functions and scripts.
