On looking again, I think my problem arises from using Wide View.
That's something I've been doing for a while so I forgot that I used to
use Messages mode. In Wide View there are no column headers on the
message list, so the fact that you can click there (what the UX people
call "affordance") is missing. This isn't a documentation problem as
such.
