     Does a 'regular' double-left click (using the LMB) cause the same
results??  If not there's obviously something different going on when
you use the MMB.  It's difficult to say exactly what's different
(timing??), but obviously PMMail is sensitive to it.

     I didn't say *ALL* do, just that most of the ones I've tried do
allow you to exclude specific programs.
