Would be better yet if I could get the keyboard focus to the menu..

The function automates the "I finished reading the last squeak mail,
move them all to where they're supposed to be". Very convinient and

Fine with me. I do eventually want cmd-c and cmd-m to work the same,
especially since the first is a kind of "preview" for the the latter.
Given keyboard focus for the menu, both could pop the sorted menu.

Hey, that IS nice!

That's useful, but parsing all the messages on every move is just too
slow (for my taste, anyway). Maybe the information should be added to
the index file.
