How do I read long posts and threads without mousing? I need a
replacement for the space bar tapping that used to suffice in another
program.

Have you tried the arrow keys?

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.

The space bar will work the way you want it to if you choose to read
the messages in overview view rather than thread view. This option
will pop up on the right side of the screen when you click on a thread
that has more than one message. When you utilize the overview option,
the messages are still threaded and the space bar will page you through
long messages and go to the next unread message if the cursor emphasis
is in the message list pane. It will not, however, skip you to the
next unread group. That I wish it would do.

I use the right cursor to open threads the down cursor to move through
the thread. This is with about half the lower part of the pain for the
message. I hit the space bar and it moves through that message, and on
to the next post, and the next.
