How about making Shift-Ctrl-M start a new e-mail regardless of where you are, and leave Ctrl-M to be context-sensitive? >> > I'm going to report a bug. >> >> Please don't, I think it's useful :-) > > Fortunately, Mozilla developers are very reasonable. > http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130036 > Not sure what you are getting at here. -- "I would rather gnaw my leg off, pack the bleeding stump with salt, and run in a circle on broken glass than have to deal with any Microsoft product on a regular basis." -- Dan Zimmerman, Vanderbilt University, when asked about Windows NT.
