# Das Nachrichtenfenster

In addition to the preview pane, Balsa can display messages in separate windows. Simply double-click on the desired message from the message index in the main window, or select the message and press the space bar. Any number of windows may be opened, although only one per unique message.

The message window has a menu and toolbar containing commands pertinent to an individual message. Commands are as described in the main window. Below the menu and toolbar are the message headers in a box, followed by the message body.

If your copy of Balsa has cryptographic support, there will be an icon in the header box depicting an envelope with a lock and a check mark. Clicking the icon will check the key used to sign the message. The message body will contain an icon and some descriptive text noting whether the signing key is valid, invalid, or unchecked.

If the message contains attachments or more than one part of any kind, an attachment icon will be present in the header box as shown below. Clicking this icon will show a menu of all available parts. Selecting a part will update the display of the message body accordingly.

The complete message selection will do its best to render all parts at once, but some may have to be selected individually or opened in an external program. Parts which cannot be rendered within Balsa will instead display a list of options for opening external programs or saving the data. Right-clicking on a part will also provide a menu with these options.

Navigation between messages is possible without returning to the index in the main window. Next unread being quite useful for checking all new mail. Deleting the current message will automatically display the next unread one. This behavior can be changed in the preferences.
