[MlMt] A couple of things about the inbox window(?)

First, I’m not sure that’s what it’s called, but I mean the main 
window with the list of messages.

Highlight a message in the list. Do a shift-up/down arrow. The message 
above/below the one you’re on gets added to the selection. Perfect. 
Now cmd-shift-arrow. The same thing happens. What I would expect to 
happen is that the whole set of messages above/below gets added to the 
selection. Mail.app doesn’t do this either, FWIW. I guess this is 
because I expect cmd-arrow to move me to the top or bottom of a list of 
items, which it doesn’t here, just like it moves me to the top or 
bottom of a body of text. (In the Finder, cmd-arrow moves you to the 
enclos-ing/-ed folder.)

The name of this window changes to reflect info about the selected 
message. When there’s more than one selected message, it becomes “X 
messages selected - <mailbox name> (total # message)”. It should 
always be the latter, though I would move the selected-message count to 
the end. I always want to see which mailbox I’m looking at. I can see 
the message info by looking at the message itself.
