No idea on why your disclosure triangles are not working, but a few other
comments follow. BTW, if you have the cursor on the group, does right arrow
or Cmd-rightarrow work to expand it? (I have no problems with expanding
groups by any method.)

They don't reply to anything submitted that way, but from what we're told,
it makes a difference, and the number of people requesting a particular
feature has great influence. So don't stop.

To me, yes. :-)

Seems like an exotic request to me, not likely.

Yup...send feedback. Personally I like it, and believe me, it went through
scores of testers and feedback before they settled on this format, so you're
likely in the minority.

The problem with scripts killing the keyboard is major, and many people have
complained. You might try letting the script operate on the whole group of
messages instead of one at a time (in the select-and-run approach, won't
work for incoming rules), like this:
>
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set cm to current messages
set category of cm to {category id 1}
set read status of cm to read
set storage of cm to folder "Junk E-mail"
set connection action of cm to remove at next connection
end tell
In E2004, that should work unless some of the messages you select are not on
line.
