So how often do you drag "straight" to the left, instead of "skew"?
You'll hit another message pretty soon.

Maybe better is if the message is dropped inside the message list,
instead of a mailbox, it should select all messages.  Problems I
foresee:
- Scrolling the message list.
- How do you cancel your drag-n-drop?

You can click first message, shift-click last message.  Its easier
than ctrl-click every message.
