Version: 1.9.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Debian Package 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-1 (testing/unstable)) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.17 Sometimes I have an email open but the selection in the message list is empty (e.g. by clicking in the empty space at the bottom of very short message lists). In this case it is not possible to move, copy or delete the currently open message neither with the mouse context menu nor with the normal menu. Seems like these actions evaluate the selection in the message list (which can be empty).
can not reproduce with kmail/KDE4.3. If you still can reproduce it with this, please reopen.
