The clawsrc settings file to help reproduce the bug

After a move operation on (say) message A, the selector in the message list
jumps to another message B, but the message window still shows the text of A.

This is confusing at best, and it could be embarrassing, e.g. if the user
should fail to notice this and sends a reply, thinking it is to A, but in
reality it is to B.

To reproduce:

* Go to /Configuration/Preferences/Display/Summaries, and then to the 'Message
List' tab.

* In the "Open message when selected" group, uncheck the "When deleting or
moving messages" checkbox.

* Further down, uncheck "Execute immediately when moving or deleting messages".

There may be more setting that are involved in this, so I have attached my
clawsrc file for easy reproduction.

Once the settings are done:

1. Select a message in the summary list. Its text appears in the window below.

2. Delete the message. 

The cursor (selector) in the list jumps to another message, and the message
window is now empty. That's OK.

So far, so good. Now:

3. Select another message.

4. Move it (e.g. to trash).

The cursor (selector) in the list jumps to another message, as before, but the
message window still shows the text of the moved message.

So the summary view and the detail view now have different information - i.e.
they are out of sync.

It may not be a big deal, but it is definitely a bug.
