It's really easy to make your own set of key bindings for Evolution, and
you don't even have to recompile.

The key bindings are in .xml files such as evolution-mail-message.xml
(which, in my installation, is in /usr/share/gnome/ui/).

Where you see things like:

    <cmd name="ViewSource"
     _tip="Show the raw email source of the message"
     type="radio" group="message_display"/>

Change it to:

    <cmd name="ViewSource"
     _tip="Show the raw email source of the message"
     accel="*Control*3"
     type="radio" group="message_display"/>

This makes control-3 a shortcut for "view source".  (Similarly, I've
made control-1 be "normal view" and control-2 be "full headers".)

Saying accel="s" should work fine for what you want (assuming 's' isn't
already taken).
