How dangerous is it to select all subscribed groups, right click and

end up deleting all your subscribed groups without confirmation? This
is a serious flaw that needs some attention.
File a bugzilla report.
That's a good one that does need a (possibly configurable) confirmation..
yes. However...
It's probably a good habit to get into of not getting that close to a
dangerous location in the first place.. Thus, rather than use the above
technique, I've taken to using select-all, mark read, or select-all,
delete, from the header pane, b4 I leave a group, rather than doing all
groups together from the group pane.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that a confirmation should be
there at least if deleting more than a group at once, but it does help
keep me out of danger, and possibly explains why the issue hasn't been
brought up b4 this..
