BUILD: 2002-03-10-21 Linux trunk nightly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1)  Open "Edit" menu
2)  Select "Preferences" option
3)  Choose the "Mail & Newsgroups" category in the list on the left
4)  Choose the "Message Composition" pane
5)  Open the "Forward Message:" dropdown
6)  Look at which letters are underlined in "Inline" and "Attachment"

ACTUAL RESULTS: the lowercase "i" and "a" are underlined.

EXPECTED RESULTS: the first (uppercase) occurrence of the letter is underlined.
I seem to recall that the current system was by design so that one could specify
an uppercase or lowercase character specifically, to match that if it's
available, and fall back to a case insensitive search.

E.g. "Manage Saved _Data" underlines the uppercase D because the accesskey is
"D". If the match were case insensitive, it would've been "Manage Save_d Data".

My suggestion is to make the accesskeys in the xul match the ones you want to match.
