Any way to select all with the mouse

Running WLM 2011 15.4 on Win 7. When viewing newsgroups, after clicking in
the Subjects window, is there any way to "select all" with just the mouse,
or must I move my hand from mouse to keyboard to hit ctrl-A, then go back to
the mouse? Keyboard shortcuts are only shortcuts if your hands are already
on the keyboard, sigh. Thanks.

'Select All' is not an available option on the ribbon menu or context menu

If your mouse is programmable or capable of reassinging a button then that
will work (my Logitech mouse meets works for me)

Thanks, Winston. That's what I thought the answer was going to be. My
attitude is mostly that if I can't get there with the mouse from a menu (or
that sorry ribbon thing that passes for a menu these days), then that
function just doesn't exist. I've used too many programs on too many
different operating systems that do too many different things, to bother
trying to memorize all the possible keyboard shortcuts. I will use one
every now and then but I try hard to never depend on one. (Yes, I've
annoyed some professional programmers that way, and some help desk people
when they would tell me to click on some incomprehensibly iconic button or
type some shortcut and I would keep asking which menu that function was in
:-).)
