Not sure where this fits, but here you go...
It would help me (and I think others) if I could use the Page Down/Up keys) to
scroll through lists of messages without landing on messages and displaying
them in the preview window. I often display messages that I would never look
at, especially when looking through a list of messages identified as Spam.
As you know, spam often includes images and language that it would be much
better not to have to look at.
Also, I don't like having messages I might want to read later marked as "Read"
just because I have scrolled through a long list of newsgroup messages.
Hope this is explained adequately. Thank you.
I¹m submitting this to the newsgroup to see if others agree with me and also
to see if I have described it clearly.
Feedback welcomed. I posted it under Accessibility:

Do you need the preview pane? Because you can resolve that issue by
closing it, which you can do by double clicking the left edge of the pane that
seperated it from the message list or by going under VIEW>PREVIEW
PANE>NONE
There is a Preference to MARK MESSAGES AS READ WHEN VIEWED IN THE PREVIEW
PANE that you could deselect.
And speaking of the Preview Pane, you can close that while tabbing (page
up/down/arrow keys) through the messages list, thereby not even opening
(previewing) the e-mail contents.
Both features already exist. They are accessible from the menus on top, or
by keyboard shortcut in the case of (temporarily) turning off the preview
pane. In EvX it's Command+Backslash.

hoped.
I don't get how someone would browse messages without having the pane open.
That's one of the tools I need as I review lists of messages.
The featuer I mean to request is that the Page Down key moves the scroll bar
without selecting the bottom message showing in the window.
I'd love to see this too.
As i see it, page-down page-up keys are just a substitute for moving the
scrollbar with your mouse.
Does moving the scrollbar with your mouse select any message? No, certainly
not. So why does Page-down/Page-up?
Same goes to the Home/End keys. And it does even apply for MS Word etc...
