They decided to take out some of the functions not used by many, in the gtk2 
upgrade.   The idea is to keep the menu streamlined and functionality 
non-bloated.  Unfortunately, I used that function frequently myself, for both 
zooming and to let me open multiple images concurrently, and I sorely miss it 
as well.

Could this be put back in, preferably either in the context menu, or with 
hotkey functionality?  Please?

While we are at it, could Mark Unread be assigned the Shift-M hotkey?  M is 
mark read, it just makes sense for Shift-M to be the reverse operation, mark 
unread.  I'll often read a message, and realize I'm not in the mood to 
respond to it in the detail it deserves, at the moment, so mark it unread, 
again, to keep it displayed (I normally hide read messages) next time.  I 
know how to get gtk2 to take customized key assignments, and have that turned 
on, but unfortunately, PAN doesn't seem to retain customizations between 
runs.  I'm not sure if that's because it's now the app responsibility, and 
PAN just relied on gtk/gnome to do it in v1 (Pan 11.x and previous), or 
because there's something wrong somewhere, but it gets VERY tiring, having to 
reset that every time I load PAN.
