Suspended Thoughts

I emailed this to Brent Simmons, the developer of NetNewsWire, but I would like all of my readers who aren’t really there to read this, too.

NetNewsWire, my RSS reader of choice, is probably up there with Safari, Twitterific, and Mail for my most-used app.  Here is my main feature request for it.

Here’s the main window of NetNewsWire, with the Daring Fireball feed selected.  It has five unread items.

Here is what happens when you arrow over to read the items.  It selects the newest one.

I would like a preference to select the oldest unread item instead.

Now what I have to do is select the feed I want and click on the oldest unread item.  It works fine, but it would be nice if I didn’t have to take my hands off of the keyboard.
