Re: [Evolution] feature request - mark all read hotkey

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

Gtk used to allow this in the menus, but with GNOME2 it apparently no
longer supports this. Also, Evolution uses Bonobo menus and that is why
Evolution (as a GNOME 1.4 application) does not support this.

If you want to customise your menu accels tho, you can by editing
/usr/share/gnome/ui/evolution*.xml
