Here's a further refinement: you can use shift-tab to select the previous link
on the index page (which is often either the next message chronologically in the
thread or the next thread), then shift-return to open that message in a separate
window, then ctrl-w to close the message window and get back to the index
window, where you can again use shift-tab...

After one initial click, you need never use the mouse again!  (We're down from 2
or 3 clicks per message to zero!)
