Funny, I have just been reading this in Sylpheed; Sylpheed's message-list
behaves just like a Pmw.ScrolledListbox, you can select a message with
Up and Down arrows but you have to hit Return or space to actually view the
message, wheras a single mouse-click does both.
Don't know if someone actually wants it that way, though :)
