<title>The Message Window</title>
<p>
In addition to the preview pane, &Balsa; can display messages in
separate windows. Simply double-click on the desired message from
the message index in the main window, or select the message and press
the space bar. Any number of windows may be
opened, although only one per unique message.
</p>
<p>
The message window has a menu and toolbar containing commands
pertinent to an individual message. Commands are as described in
the <link xref="win-main">main window</link>.
Below the menu and toolbar are the message headers in a box,
followed by the message body.

<p>
If your copy of &Balsa; has cryptographic support, there will be
an icon in the header box depicting an envelope with a lock and a
check mark. Clicking the icon will check the key used to sign the
message. The message body will contain an icon and some
descriptive text noting whether the signing key is valid, invalid,
or unchecked.
</p>
<p>
If the message contains attachments or more than one part of any
kind, an attachment icon will be present in the header box as
shown below. Clicking this icon will show a menu of all available
parts. Selecting a part will update the display of the message
body accordingly.

<p>
The <gui>complete message</gui> selection will
do its best to render all
parts at once, but some may have to be selected individually or
opened in an external program. Parts which cannot be rendered
within &Balsa; will instead display a list of options for opening
external programs or saving the data. Right-clicking on a part
will also provide a menu with these options.
</p>
<p>
Navigation between messages is possible without returning to the
index in the main window. Next unread being quite useful for
checking all new mail. Deleting the current message will
automatically display the next unread one. This behavior can be
changed in the <link xref="preferences">preferences</link>.
