I appreciate your response. I didn't realize I was stoking a fire on
the checkbox question :-) I will promptly drop it.
I will have to give this some more thought. I think we can probably
solve this with training. Thank you again.

What is not intuitive in this behavior? All apps behave like this.
In addition, in IE7 when you control-click it opens the
message in another tab, so if you control-click 10 messages to delete
them, you now also have 10 tabs to close.
This is a problem currently not solved because IE7 does not allow the
javascript to cancel the event. And here we have a conflict between
two
different points of view: some people want to have the message
subject as
real link in order to open the message in a new tab by ctrl-
clicking it and
others want to select multiple messages using ctrl-click.
Is there something I am missing on this problem? Is there a setting
where I can enable an old school checkbox column for people to use in
multi-select?
We don't have checkboxes and there won't be any checkboxes at all. And
please don't start yet another endless discussion about this!
The only solution I see is to tell the users that they should not
click the
message subject (but another col or whitespace) when selecting
multiple
messages with ctrl.
