Not on my system: Win2k 500.2195 w/ service pack 1.  I left click, I
right click, nada.  But the CTRL-LMB for discontinuous msgs works like
a dream (thank you Bruce Francis--I didn't know about that, either), as
does the LMB-then-select-another-msg-w/ SHIFT-LMB method for continuous
blocks.

Strange that the LMB doesn't draw a rectangle for me, if it does for
Martin.
