User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

If message not already displayed, ctrl-left-click should only select the
message, not display it.

Ctrl-left-click is used to select a group of non-contiguous messages for deleting,
or forwarding, or whatever.  The first selection via this method should not
display the selected message, as there is never any intention to view the message
body.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  With no message displayed or selected
2.  Ctrl-left-click on a message
3.

Actual Results:  
Message is selected and displayed

Expected Results:  
Message is selected, but not displayed

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
