We do check for [ and ] with no qualifiers too, but thats dont in code,
and not through the bonobo menu shortcuts.  The bonobo ones override all
other keystroke input, which is why anything in the menu's needs to be
qualified.  But it doesn't mean thats the only keystrokes we can
support.

[ and ] work for me.  Does the same as , and ..  i.e. next unread when
message list focussed, otherwise whatever is focussed.

We could alwyas add that to the separate mail view, i guess.
