True, you can select a style of key bindings (Emacs, MS-style, or even a
custom style) from within the control center, but it still doesn't solve
the problem.  If you look closely at the available "commands" you can
bind, there are no commands for things like "take me to the end" or
"take me to the begining" of a document.  Actually, there aren't even
commands for "page-up" or "page-down", so it appears that the html
viewer has these preconfigured and aren't modifiable (even if I chose to
make custom key-bindings).

HOME (in composing with MS-style) takes you to the beginning of the line
and END takes you the the end of the line.  In simply viewing an e-mail
message, HOME and END seem to be useless, as Clayton originally noted.
