219747 - double click opens all selected items for viewing, even 100+ items, without asking

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 201879

Description

[nate]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

It is very easy when selecting many emails to delete, mark as spam, etc, to
accidentally double click one while holding down 'shift' or 'ctrl'.  This causes
mozilla to open all of the windows at once, without doing a Bash style 'there
are 835 messages selected.  Open all of them?' dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.select lots of entries in the folder
2.hold down shift or ctrl
3.double click an entry

Actual Results:  
It opened a S***load of windows

Expected Results:  
a popup box of some sort, asking 'are you sure?', or just open only the most
recently selected, whichever is easier to code

i presume this affects all platforms, but i have not tested anything other than
the winXP version
