How can I select and delete messages without T'bird opening each one as it is selected?
Well, that says it.... if I select a message, say, to delete it because the subject line says "If you open this message, your computer will be instantly infected with every known malware" - - woops! the Thunderbird setup just opened it. -- I need to select for deletion without opening -- Am I totally missing something??

Close the Message Pane by pressing F8, select the message with a single left click and press the delete button of your choice or right click and select delete.
FYI, Thunderbird does not allow scripts to run so if you do not open attachments or click links you should be okay anyway.

Under the heading of my "totally missing something", I had a suspicion that T'bird would guard against what I was concerned about.... Nice to have that confirmed. Also good to have the F8 tip for future use. Thank You - from the cowtown -
