Build 2000010509M13: NT4, Linux 6.0, Mac 8.5.1

Overview: The Access Key states Ctrl+D yet it should be "Del".

Additional Information:
- Windows, Ctrl+D does nothing and the "Del" key works.
- Linux, Ctrl+D actually deletes the message and the "Del" key does nothing.
- Mac, Ctrl+D actually deletes the message and the "Del" key does nothing.

Scott, I can work on this but I didn't know how fast you were going to do this.
Assuming I did it right, it may be done. My machine is currently building so I
couldn't test the line of xul i added. I'll post back here.

Scott, I can take this from you. I have a fix in my tree pending code review,
I'll check it in.

Target Milestone: M14
I checked in a key binding for the delete button such that hitting delete key
deletes the selected messages in the thread pane (assuming the thread pane has
focus). This is really bug #8985.

I'm leaving this bug open and using it to describe the fact that the menu under
Edit still says Ctrl-D for delete instead of del.

Moving my remaining M14 bugs to M15 which is the next targeted milestone.
Target Milestone: M14 → M15
Summary: 3-pane, Delete Access Key should be "Del" → UI 3-pane, Delete Access Key should be "Del"
triaging since M15 is tonight. Not an M15 stoppper.
Target Milestone: M15 → M17
Mail Review hopes this is post-beta2, easy, polish work.  Marking M18.

Ok, I am marking this fixed (as so many other 3-pane bugs, which is fixed but 
not marked as such).

This now works for me on Windows 98: build 2001012304. It was confirmed that 
this works on linux from rumstich@informatik.hu-berlin.de, build 2001012021.

Marking FIXED.

There are no mnemonics or accelerators for Delete under the Edit menu on Mac, 
build 2001012311, but in Linux, we have (D)elete Folder    Del, and on Windows 
2000, we have (D)elete Folder      Del.  If Macintosh should have an 
accelerator and/or a mnemonic (and judging from below it should have a 
mnemonic), then this should be re-opened.
Okay, I'm brain-dead, Mac doesn't seem to use mnemonics ;-(.  
If I read http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/specs/misc/Accelerators.html 
Correctly, 'No Delete key is shown for the Mac. "Del" for Win and Linux. Delete 
menu item follows platform specific behavior.  Forward delete for Windows and 
Linux, and Backspace delete for Mac.'

Then this should be verified.  I'll leave for you Ninoschka.
