Details

The key combination alt+delete, when on OS X is supposed to delete the word before the cursor. Currently, it deletes trailing whitespace and gets stuck at the first letter. This is a regression, but I'm not sure when it regressed (I think it was a while ago).

Steps to reproduce:
0. Open a new compose window
1. Type "one two three" in the body of the message
2. Hit alt+delete

Expected results:
The body has "one two"

Actual results:
The body is still "one two three"

Note: the key combinations work in the subject line.
