I agree we need accelerators.
  

but I think there are issues (in another bug, somewhere) with using those 
particular keys.

jglick or mpt will know.

Looking at the key plan I didn't see those keys used and didn't see them listed
anywhere else with any other keys.  Does anyone else have any better
suggestions?  I just pulled them from 4.x.

any.

if we figure out the issues, we can change the accelerators.

sorry for the round trips on this, I should have done that from the start.

Reopening due to win and linux problem. The Expand Accelerator is not working 
("*"), but the Collapse is working ("/").

The Expand and Collapse accelerator is working on the Mac.

This is a dup of bug 64256 (and not the other way around since 64256 asks for 4
keys and this only asks for 2).

Verified Duplicate.

Would anyone have a problem with me changing the "collapse all threads"
accelerator to something other than the / key?

I'd like to use the / to start text search in mailnews, which is pretty
standard. We've been using / for text search ever since we started doing type
ahead find. It seems like that should take precedence over / for collapse all
threads.
