Ok, I had to add "user.js" and I selected "2" from the above.  That 
seems to be an improvement over the default in that when I scroll to the 
bottom of a message it does not present me with the menu that requires a 
response but brings up the next unread message in that [message filter] 
directory.  I think I can live with that.  The important thing is 
knowint how to make such changes.  Of course I still don't know how to 
find things like:
"user_pref("mailnews.nav_crosses_folders", 0);"  And certainly the 
nomenclature doesn't tell much?

Thnak you for the help.
