I've encountered a few issues with using this patch. None of these are bugs, just areas where I think the behavior could be improved. The first is an enhancement request. Having gotten used to being able to click on a message to open it, I tried clicking in the pager mini-index to open one of the messages shown there, but it didn't work. It would be nice if the mouse worked there, too. The next issue is probably just a matter of learning new habits, but with this patch it is no longer possible to select text in a message using just the mouse--you have to hold the shift key while selecting text. The last issue is becoming quite an annoyance and I think the behavior should be changed. When the index fills only the top of the screen, clicking anywhere in the empty space below the last message selects the last message. This is a problem when you have overlapping windows, mutt is running in a partially-hidden window, and you click in an empty area of the window in order to bring it to the foreground. If the indicator is already on the last message, clicking in that empty area will also open the message. I think this should be changed so that clicking in that area has no effect, or scrolls the index down as '<' would, but does not open any message.
