yea....

i played around just now with the MS Mouse properties dialog box.

if i change Wheel button behavior from its default "auto-scroll" to
"double-click", the wierd scroll behavior is gone, but now VM doesnt think i
am double clicking. instead, if i hit middle button on a word in the
Summary, it highlights that word instead of selecting that message.

if i make the behavior "Enter",  it works the first press, but then brings
up "Go to message:" afterwards. 

so i'll leave it at "Autoscroll" and just assume this is an MS thingy that
never ever will go away.
