Hi Willem!

Yes, at times that would be a very natural action.  However,  
there's more room for error there--a user selects a couple of  
messages and marks them deleted, and doesn't notice that a few  
dozen messages in a collapsed (sub)thread are silently and  
invisibly marked deleted also.  I'm in two minds about that  
one...

Perhaps a new Mailbox => Select Thread(s), which expands the  
threads containing all selected messages, so the user sees all  
the affected messages?  But with what accelerator?

Regards,

Peter
