Hi! I just managed to hit the Reply button while all messages in a =20
mailbox were selected. Luckily, this was a mailbox of only medium size, =20
with just about 500 messages inside. Still, opening a window for each =20
reply, and another if it had an attachement, quickly made the computer =20
unusable, so I had to wait considerable time until I could switch to a =20
terminal and kill balsa.

It would be nice if there was some kind of safeguard against stupid =20
mistakes like this! Could you make a check, please, that at most X =20
messages may be selected when Reply is hit and  if number_selected > X, =20
show a dialogue where users have to confirm that they really intended =20
to reply to several hundred messages at once? I think X=3D10 would be a =20
good value: It should be rare that anybody would want to open that many =20
message windows at once, so it wouldn't interfere with users' workflow =20
in general. If somebody really wanted to open that many windows at =20
once, I guess hitting a confirm button once should be OK -- but it's =20
more likely that opening a huge amount of windows is a stupid mistake =20
that could be prevented that way.

Best regards!

Andreas
