First of all, I can't reproduce this problem on Win XP on Firefox 1.5 or 1.0.7, so I'm guessing it's either somehow a Win 2000/linux problem (seems unlikely) or a firefox configuration? I don't know, but I can't fix it if I can't reproduce it.

As fas as I know shift-click will just open the html link in a new window or tab. Because all links in RoundCube are filled with "#..." the link is not valid. One solution is to completely avoid this (using javascript) or, even better, to write valid urls to the mailbox links that would correctly open the clicked mailbox in a new window.

Thomas, I know you're one of the original developers (the original developer?) but if we really want to adhere to this from the website:
"RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface."
We should definitely avoid making the message lists into valid HTML links. Although there would be some immediate benefit for people expecting web-like behavior (single click on a message to open it, ctrl-click to open it in a new window, etc), it would immediately shift the direction of development from building an "application-like" interface to building a "web-like" interface, which I think would undermine the greatness and potential greatness of roundcube. In fact, I'm an advocate for removing the HTML links that are already in the message list (the e-mail addresses) to further adhere to an "application-like" interface, and I'm starting to come around on the idea of javascript context menus (that could be easily disabled).
