You didn't say /where/ you selected the group of messages...I think we
are on "different pages" here.
I am on Mozilla 1.7 here. I have my list of mail folders at the right
side of the screen. (inbox, sent, fixes, research, etc)
In my email, at the top, I go to /Tools/ and click. This drops down a
menu and the first option is "/search messages/". others are below that.
Click /search messages/ and a window appears that at top says "/search
for messages in:/ " and I can select, say, "inbox". I now have a blank
line I type "fix".
This searches all refs to "fix" in the subject line of my inbox. The
resulting list of twenty or so appears. now I can click the first,
shift+click the last whick blacks them all (I wanted to select all) now,
if I right click the mouse OVER the highlighted search results, right
click does not work. It DOES work other places in mozilla inbox and
elsewhere. thats what I'm saying.
