[MlMt] Move focus to message list

[Stefan Buehler]

Dear all,

but now the perhaps less trivial question: My shortcuts do select the 
last message (key l-l), but do not move the focus there, as I had hoped. 
I’ve now found that there appears to be a selector to move the focus, 
“makeFirstResponder:”. But what is the ID of the message list?

Cheers

Stefan
