In the spirit of exmh, it should (of course) be configurable.  I've actually 
been imagining a right click bringing up the sequences menu.  I think I'd like 
either a control click or a shift click opening in a new window.  What do 
other email programs use?  If there's consensus, we should make that the 
default.

I'd like to see it, but I don't know if I'd like it.  (For years I've wanted to 
display the mutipart/alternative options as tabs, but it's never been 
important enough to implement.)

I think it would be.  There are times that I'd like to leave a given ftoc 
window up so I can see new messages arrive while I'm also doing real work in 
another ftoc.  I wouldn't use it every day, but I'd use it often enough to be 
of value.
