Agreed.  Ctrl-S is pretty standard for "Save as Draft" on other mail clients, too.

Hmm, maybe not.  But Ctrl-Shift-S isn't an uncommon shortcut for this function in other mail clients too 
(e.g. Mail.app on OS X -- well okay, they use Cmd-Shift-S, of course), so I wouldn't have a great problem 
with keeping it around either.

Cheeri,
