It would be very useful. Unfortunately, 'f' is taken for "next message". Maybe 'F' or 'i' for "important"? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a message in e.g. the INBOX 2. Try and find a key which toggles the message flag state 3. Fail :)

Comment on attachment 194589 [details] [diff] [review] [fixed branch and trunk] SeaMonkey; with updated message menuitem > Fixed on the branch and the trunk. That nearly made me kick my CVS out of the window, because I tried to check in at about the very same time and so it complained about the patch being already applied, even though I got the clean copy! ;-) Anyway, fixed on trunk and branch for SeaMonkey, too.
