You probably missed the answer to your question (see below). I
prefer to get all mail over the mailing lists.

With the pager that comes with fvwm-2.x, clicking with the middle
mouse button on a window gives it focus. So you need to click
twice to get the effect you want.

I have no idea. This change was made before I began working on
fvwm more than four years ago. But as a developer I appreciate
this much: I sometimes have to focus a window on a different
page.

There are very vague plans to implement configurable actions in
the pager, but they are so far down on the priority list that it
may take years before the work is done.
