If my junk folder contains a single message and I perform an habitual <Ctrl>A to
select all and delete, the single message is opened in the message pane.

This is bad in that I just opened a message that I determined was JUNK and I
wanted to delete... and ya'll now what that gets you!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place a single message in your Junk folder
2. Open the Junk Folder
3. In the message list pane, hit <ctrl>A

Actual Results:  
See above

Expected Results:  
Not opened the message has it would if there were multiple messages present.

There is no way this qualifies as a major bug.  Being forced to inadvertantly 
view spam is not a serious issue, and there are at least two workarounds:
1) instead of Ctrl-A, right-click on the message and select Delete
2) close the message pane before viewing.

also happens in Thunderbird (but didn't find a TB bug#)
