see comments in bug #65775. we need it to be a non-simple key stroke, mark all read should not easily happen on accident.

I think the recently added "Mark" toolbar button is causing this. testing a fix now...

C??? C??? C??? cmd-shift-C?!??? Where oh where did this little gem come from? ;)
oh, and btw, the "Mark" popdown on mac now reads "cntl-shift-c" which is incorrect. It should be command, not control. Who did that code? Jag?

Will update mail menu spec accordingly.
<key id="key_markAllRead" key="&markAllReadCmd.key;" observes="cmd_markAllRead" modifiers="accel, shift"/> 1.76 sspitzer%netscape.com Jan 25 01:24 "a" is a bad key for mark all read, since it is too easy to hit "a", and mark all read is not undoable. make mark all read "ctrl shift c" like it was in 4.x.

Mark All Read wasn't Ctrl+Shift+C on either 4.x for Windows (which used Shift+C) or 4.x for Mac OS (which used Option+Command+/). So what platform did use Control+Shift+C in 4.x? And what's the intuitive explanation for it? Potential candidates for using Ctrl+Shift+C, Mozilla-wide, include `Add to Clipboard' (like MS Word's `spike' command) or `Copy to Album' (like the Scrapbook in Internet Explorer 5 for Mac OS).
It wasn't CTRL+SHIFT+C, it was ALT+SHIFT+C on Linux (4.76).
What the... We can't use ctrl-shit-c! ICQ is already using that shortcut system-wide for mail checking, which means that I can't mark all messages read with a shortcut when ICQ is going :( I definitely think we should *reconsider* this decision as ctrl-shift-c is totally illogical and already in use. Someone REOPEN this..
pink, it was my mess up. I've moved the discussion over to a new bug, #66681 and cc'd everyone. please add your comments there.
