My initial reaction to your scenario is that the idea of selecting
an operation is no different in essence from continuing a suspended
operation.  E.G. selecting INBOX is exactly the same as continuing
a mail reader.  The distinction is in being able to reinstate visual
context.  This is an important distinction of course, being made
feasible by the new generation of hardware for displays.

One question though.  This scenario description assumes that each thing
you can select has one "reason" for being selected.  The INBOX being
selected means you are rummaging through it.  Is this assumption likely
to hold?  That is, will the reason for selecting something always be
unique or unambiguous enough that the right set of operations will
become available automatically?
