'R' only works in the folder view. Well for me it works in either the folder view or the msg view. Obviously it cannot be invoked if I have focus on the folder tree, but that seems a very odd place to be when trying to reply. > An accelerator can't be a simple letter for many [good] reasons. I can see that. But I do not see why we need reply and forward to be active options in the folder tree. Do you use this? I do not. That is why I suggest: > AGI> ii.

(Well, with one exception: clearly ctrl-n should remain the same...) > We may assign Ctrl-R to "Reply to sender" and leave 'R' in the folder view > to be the default reply but I think it would be confusing. I think a good email client must allow keyboard access to this option, so this is better than the current arrangement. Better than this, I think, would be to enable "Reply to sender" only in the folder view and msg view and assign shift-r to that. That would actually suffice for me. But I still like even better the scheme I proposed, as long as it is not a fluke that I see the non-accelerator versions (e.g., "r") working in the msg view as well as the folder view.
