OK. I wasn't sure, as I didn't see it mentioned anywhere...

Yeah, well, that's a habit. ;)

Sure, you are right about "using the mouse before". But then again...

You are going to use the keyboard anyways right after triggering the
Reply (to List) action. So moving your hands off of the mouse to the
keyboard is a step necessary once -- in any case. You can start writing
immediately after using the keyboard accelerator. Well, one option at
least...


Anyway, the GUI designers decided to clean up the right click context
menu. They did. Maybe it is better than before, at least it is not as
overloaded and confusing than it used to be. Maybe it is not. I don't
know, cause I rarely use it.

If you guys believe, they removed a vital option, please file a bug at
bugzilla.gnome.org, priority normal. Mention that it is a "regression"
in the description. And post the bug number here for others to comment
on that bug.

Any change will break habits. I got to cope with that pretty often...
