Turns out it was relatively low hanging fruit to implement select/copy/paste. Interestingly, selection was already supported by Apple, but there was no visual feedback of a selection. (Note that drag'n'drop still only works within the same view.)

For example, Mac Eudora had a couple of extremely helpful features with its rules: first, you could select a message and then option-click to open the rules window, and the rules that matched the selected message would be highlighted. Second, each rule showed the date when it last acted, which made it easy to delete or update obsolete rules.

For many reasons, it would be nice with logging of rule actions, but this one is still on the todo.
