No, Right Click's do not select items, so you must FIRST select the messages
that will be the target of the right click's action (select with Left Click,
the arrow keys, shift-click or ctrl-click) .... The right click actions target
ALL selected messages, so if you "shift-click" or "ctrl-click" to select
multiple messages, they will all be targeted by your right click.

This is actually programmer controllable, but if I allow Right Clicks to select
items, what ends up happening, is if you have 5 messages selected (say via  a
"Shift-Click") when you right click on them, ONLY the one that you right
clicked on ends up being selected... so I block the right click selection
feature so that multiple messages can be targetted...
