Thanks Milan, that seems to (mostly) solve the problem.

If I select anything other than "Current Folder", then Ctrl-Alt-A is
disabled. When I select "Current Folder", then Ctrl-Alt-A works as expected,
provided that all the selected messages come from the same original IMAP
mailbox. For example it always works if I have only a single message
selected. If I try to select several messages from two or more IMAP
mailboxes, then again Ctrl-Alt-A is disabled. This solution is good enough
for me, but it's still a bit weird!
