[MlMt] Should keybindings affect implicitly-selected messages?

[Randall Meadows]

Since I'm new to key bindings, I don't know if this is expected 
behavior, or perhaps a bug.  But here's the deal...

I don't like having "wayward" unread messages lying around; I use the 
count tokens as a cue for what I need to process.  When I have said 
count tokens next to my deleted messages, it's like a mini speed bump to 
my mental processing.

So, I created a keybinding that purportedly removes the "SEEN" tag from 
the selected message[s] and moves it|them to the Trash.  This seems to 
work just fine for a single message, and for multiple "peer" 
messages—e.g., unrelated messages, or messages that don't have a 
"parent-child message-reply" relationship in a thread, whereby there is 
a disclosure triangle on the parent in order to show the child.

In that case, when the disclosure is closed, and only the "parent" is 
selected, my keybinding does indeed move all messages to the Trash, but 
only the selected "parent" has its SEEN tag removed; the "child" remain 
"unread" in the Trash.

I hope my explanation of what I'm seeing makes sense.  Should I expect 
*all* the actions of the keybinding to be executed on *all* the selected 
(whether explicit or implicit) messages?

 
Thanks!
