RE: [Evolution] Keybinding bug

["Alex Swavely" <swave_1 yahoo com>]

I use Outlook.  I hate Outlook, but I have to use it in order to support it.
I like the fact that Evo honors Outlook keybindings, and uses a similar UI,
so that when it gets to production, I can DUMP outlook and still be able to
say to one of my users, on the phone, "ok, use this key sequence to get
here..."

I would also like to be able to eventually wean my users off of Microsh*t
products and onto a more stable environment...  This means having things
work the same as they are used to.

However, I also believe that the keybindings should be completely
user-configurable, because I use Pine on the other system I administer, and
I'd like the keys to do the same things between mailers, and it's not likely
I'll get the UW folks to change their mailer that's been in production for x
years...
