OK, it's not a bug. But be conscious that some hardware do not have a Suppr key or have a real small one, think about laptops, and yeah, especially Apple ones. So the feature request is : please add a Preference that would allow Backspace to behave like Suppr if the user wants it to. Thanks a lot to the team, this v3 is gonna help me make my way out of Apple Mail :-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.On Linux 2.Select a message line in the main window 3.Press BackSpace... 4. Imagine a checkbox in the prefs to bind that key...
note the comment " this v3 is gonna help me make my way out of Apple Mail". Might that be a universal sentiment? would we (or seamonkey in theory) accept such a patch? Or do we consider this still a duplicate of bug 285117? ... And by extension, the solution to be an extension :)

Per Wayne's comment 1, this looks like a dupe of bug 285117 imo should be marked such. No dupes, no comments, so it doesn't look like a common problem, either.
