That would be fine if it matched with what people *expect* from other
email clients.  IME no other mail clients do this, so it is a
surprise.  And not a good surprise either.

The behaviour you spoke of should be implemented more explicitly.  For
example the checkboxes in gmail let you do just that.  In claws as is,
I'd say "hide the message view and then move to a message to have that
safety".
