From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523 BuildID: 2002052306 Control R in mail means reply. In the browser, it means reload. This is confusing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load a page in browser. Press Ctrl+R 2. Open an e-mail message. Press Ctrl+R 3. Notice that they behave differently Actual Results: In the browser, the page is reloaded. In e-mail, a new message is opened for a reply.
This is standard behavior in nearly every graphical E-Mail program and web browser. To change this would cause far more confusion than leaving it as is. Additionally, there shouldn't be a case where you would want to reload a message (it shouldn't change) or reply to a web page, so Control-R doesn't need to have the same function in both cases.
