When using the space bar in the index page, the direction of travel is
always downwards (to higher number messages).

If you have your 'sorting' criteria set up by date, that's fine -- you
proceed thru your unread messages from oldest to newest.  But if you
have the order reversed (newest is 1, oldest is max) using the space
bar to navigate thru messages does the opposite of what you want.  For
2.3 I'd suggest this be changed so that the ' ' direction is inverted
when the user does a 'reverse' setting on date.
