Yes, sorry -- I'm using the Widescreen layout, but with the message list 
expanded all the way to the right, so that all messages are forced to 
open in new windows. (I use Witch, http://manytricks.com/witch/, to give 
me keyboard access to windows, so I always prefer individual windows to 
panes or tabs. If I could have the mailbox list and message list in 
individual windows, I'd do that too!)

Not reliably. Tab changes the focus, but if the message has blocked 
external references, Tab moves the focus to the Load Once, Mark as Not 
Junk, and Move to Junk buttons before getting to the message body. I do 
think the default focus should be on the message body, so I look forward 
to that!
