Description osavill 2004-03-05 13:49:41 UTC
Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.25-0.pre6.2mdk

If a folder is selected with the right mouse button I don't believe that its contents should be displayed as this could be a potential security risk. Suppose you have a junk folder and the Anti Spam stuff has put some virus carrying messages in it. There is no way of deleting the contents of this folder without displaying the first message and in doing so may have spread the virus. Would it not be an idea to have 'View messages' menu option like Evolution does ? The only problem with Evolution is that there is no 'Move all to trash' option in the right mouse button menu !!!
