Description

[Stefan Kost]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206

on my sun keyboard the enter key is about the same size as the shift key.
When I want to mark multiple message using shift-selection, but  	accidentally
press and hold the enter key mozilla-mail opens the same message over and over
again in new windows (due to key-repeat).
This is quite annoying as my sun is not the fatest and it can happen to take me
5 minutes to get rid of them all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. press and hold enter in the message list
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
the longer you do that the more windows you will have

Expected Results:  
One message should only be opened once.
