240865 - MailNews should ask for confirmation before opening a lot of standalone message windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 201879

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Timon Christl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040119
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040119

When selecting message using the mouse with ctrl- and/or shift-clicking it
sometimes happens to me that MailNews wants to open a separate standalone
message window for each message that is currently selected (this looks like a
separate bug to me, MailNews somehow seems to think it simultaneously receives a
double-click for each messages currently selected). When only a couple of
messages are selected this does not really hurt, but when hundreds of messages
are selected Mozilla things are different, Mozilla most often simply crashes.

Therefore it would be good if MailNews asked the user for confirmation if more
than a certain number of messages (like 5) are to be opened in standalone windows.
