Yeah, I was hitting return at or just after the window edge.  Then I saw one of
my messages was poorly formatted in the list.

Yeah, I also read it at work and at home so I am familiar with the problem.

A problem that I am more likely to face is where I go for several days without
reading the list and then I have to search backwards and hopefully figure out the
last message I read.

Maybe just a link to your last-read message if you are logged in?  Or maybe it
would be feasable to store the last x messages read by each user for such a
relatively small forum.

This is the same problem I had with the Topica interface, but I must say that I
find the list filter interface much nicer

Another suggestion -- preview.
