How about a delay? The item has to have been selected for 5
seconds without the mouse being clicked on another message. So
really, it changes from an onClick event handler to an onRelease or
onMouseUp event handler. You would wait a set amount of time (say
2-5 seconds) and then once that time has passed, load it in the
preview pane. This way, if you mis-click, you have that small
window to correct it before a preview is shone. This is very
similar to the "Wait X seconds before marking read" in Thunderbird.
Personally I already find the current delay long enough. 2 seconds
would be too long. I would like waiting for a 'onMouseUp' event && no
dragging.
Perhaps something along the lines of a minor button sitting on the
dividor that looks something like: [===v===] to minimize the preview pane, and [===^===] to maximize it.
That would be nice. Though it's probably not very easy to implement.
