Alex, I think you answered your own question, <smiles>.  I will only use this 
keystroke in the Mail App.  I spend considerable time reading through Mail in 
Conversation View.  Now, I could press the Return Key, invoke a Read All 
command and then return to the message list.  Being able to jump back and forth 
between the message list and the message text is probably the single keystroke 
I most use given the volume of mail from the Mac Visionaries and VI Phone 
lists.  The proximity of the space bar and the J key on the braille keyboard is 
much preferred over its equivalent on the Mac keyboard.
