102512 - Right mouse button click should not display message

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 30560

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[(Don't use, old account) - Kai Engert]

Sometimes I want to right click a message and just delete it, because I'm sure
it is spam. It would be nice if I could right click a message that is currently
not being displayed, and delete it without opening it.

This should be marked wontfix. 

This would be a very confusing usability "feature". Imagine selecting a message
and not having it display in the preview pane. Sure it works for deleting, but
if you just right click on the message, it would get highlighting but not appear
in the preview pane.

If someone wanted to reply to a message, which message would they reply to? The
one being shown in the preview area, or the one highlighted?

I think the solution would be to run without the preview pane. then you'd have
to double click to open a message. If you right clicked then, you could delete
the message without viewing it.

Acatually..dup of bug 30560. A right-click shouldn't perform the additional task
a left-click does. A right-click should only bring up a context menu.
(Compare to what happens when right-clicking a link in browser for instance)
