Unfortunately it does not. What you suggested is about what I tried. Thanks for
trying. Isn't technology fun?

I haven't used Win95 in years and I can't test this
out but.. To highlight an e-mail using the keyboard at
least one message needs to already be highlighted, if
one is not you can Tab to the message pane and an
e-mail message will highlight, to select multiple
messages you need to hold down CTRL and press the
space bar then (Continuing to hold down the CTRL key)
use the down arrow to move to the next message and
press the space bar, do this for all the messages you
want to select. You have to keep holding the CTRL key
through the whole process.

At this point I don't know what you can do with Win95
but you should be able to press CTRL+A, select the
folder you want to copy to (you may need to Tab into
the folder) and then press CTRL+V to paste the
messages to the folder. Alternatively you can use
CTRL+X to cut and then CTRL+V to move the messages
rather than copy.

Again, not sure if this works for Win95
