SC_MOVE initiates a modal message loop that processes mouse messages and 
translates them into window movement. That's why those mouse messages 
don't reach your normal message pump.

Why do you need individual mouse messages while the window is being 
moved? What are you trying to achieve? Would WM_MOVING message serve 
your purpose?
