KMail is a particularly bad example for this because KMail is focus-less=20
by design (safe for a few bugs). In KMail always the main window has=20
the focus. The downside of this is that one can't use the up/down arrow=20
keys for navigating in the message list pane because up/down scrolls=20
the message in the preview pane.

=46WIW, the fact that there's no clear focus indicator has always stopped=20
me from adding an optional focus-aware navigation mode to KMail.
