"Mousing" in the leftmost columns of the browser either selects the message, or bring up a scheduled prompter to input a character for the "prefix"; typically I''m "mousing ahead" of myself, and many seconds go by before I even notice that an attempted msg selection has aborted into a prompt request.' ' How about some very thin, maybe dotted, vertical line separating the two columns?'

If you stay away from the left margin, you won''t have this problem at all. I''ll make a note to explain this more explicitly in the documentation. Also, I think the feedback for selecting in the mark region is quite adequate. So all things considered, I am reluctant to clutter up the browser window with an extra boundary line.'
