Huh. That's weird. I did mean a simple left-click and it certainly works 
for me to select messages with the same subject.

Maybe I should have been more clear: I mean left-click on the subject in 
the header pane (for lack of a better term) of the message you are 
looking at, not the subject in the message list. I do this all the time 
with subject, from, to, sometimes date.

For example, if I am looking at your message, I can left-click on 
"MailMate Users" or "mailmate at lists.freron.com" following the "To:" in 
the header pane and quickly select all the messages that were sent to 
this list.

If I click on the "aisrael" or "alain.israel at pasteur.fr" following the 
"From:" in the header pane, it selects all messages from you.
