[Bug 1653351]

[Alta88]

I should think we need to understand the use case rather than simply
accept the proposed implementation at face value. Users want to signify
for a message not to be auto selected on threadpane context/cycler
column actions that remove a previous message. A global pref or even
folder property is certainly the wrong way to go about this, as
sometimes messages should be auto selected, and sometime not (as in a
trash folder restoring or junking/deleting messages), and the same
behavior is not necessarily consistently desired in the same folder at
all times. So changing such a pref or property is very non ergonomic and
imo such an implementation is a nonstarter.

The patch does not intend to change existing behavior at all when a
message is selected, for either message window actions or the imap
delete model or anything else. However, deselecting (ctrl-left click) a
message is the method used to indicate the user does not want subsequent
auto selection to happen. It's the best way to finely tune the behavior
with 1 click.

I hope this makes the patch's intent clearer.
