Thanks for clarifying that, Esther. I just did a bit of experimenting, and found out that you can hold down the up- or down-arrow keys while also holding down shift and command until VO tells you how many messages are selected, or until the bell chimes for the top or the bottom of the list. I have cursor wrap set to "off", so I'm not sure of the behavior if you have wrap set to the "on" position.
