Andy, another point scored for you!

I will do exactly that!


Now the only drawback it remains (more "mental" then real) is that the
user already scrolls down to read the message / patch and, at the end,
it's easier to just continue scrolling to jump to next/previous
revision then move the mouse to point the tab, click, and go back to
start scrolling again: a finger against a double hand movment + click.

Yes, I know, I'm veeery lazy ;-)
