True: *if* you realize that you have deleted multiple msgs, and *if* you move deleted msgs to trash. This is particularly an issue for new users, I believe. You have pointed out that ctrl-<pgdn>, <space> will also lead to a multiple selection in Windows explorer. True. But <pgdn>, <space> will not. Where is the equivalent to the latter in Mahogany? I think it is needed. How about alt-<pgdn> for a normal <pgdn> in the folder view (since <pgdn> is seized by the msg view).

Again, 'D' is not 'Ctrl-D', after all. What about the person who does not delete to trash and who expunges msgs from a folder automatically when leaving it? Shouldn't they be warned at least once that they have chosen an action that caused multiple selections that they are about to delete, when this is something that can easily be missed by a new user?

In my Mahogany i. The status bar is usually blank unless a new action is performed. ii. When it is not blank, it does not show the number of msgs selected. iii. Nor is msg selection an action that causes the status bar to display Cheers, Alan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
