Done and fix confirmed for Ctrl+click. But what is the space bar supposed to do in the message list (here it does nothing, but I believe to have understood that it should do something now)?
The spacebar is only active when holding down the ctrl key. It's a way of selecting or unselecting messages without having to use the mouse. Example: click on a message, hold down the ctrl-key and press the down arrow twice - then, still holding the control key, press the spacebar. You should now have two messages selected, with one unselected one between them. The ticket is still open because right now we don't have an indicator for which row has the focus.
Hmm... I think it's a pretty good idea to have the facility to select messages with the space bar, but I'd rather suggest to do it the same way as elder guys like me ;) got used to for ages with Norton/Total Commander: Just pressing the space bar without Ctrl or anything else.
Personally I think if we just take the existing "selected" style and, make a (much) lighter version of it for when it's focused, and a (slightly) darker version for when it's both selected and focused, we'd be good.
Here I suggest to just change the color of the font for any selected message (again, as in Norton/Total Commander) rather than working with three different row colors. This also would solve the problem which row has the focus.
