Bah. If you think it's really necessary to remove this shortcut then go 
ahead.

While we are at it: There are some much more important shortcuts which 
should be changed. Proposal (press x for a nice tabular view ;-) ):
Action                New Shortcut       Old Shortcut
Select All Messages   Ctrl+A             k
Select Message Text   Ctrl+Shift+A (?)   Ctrl+A
Move to Trash         Delete             d and Delete

Reasoning:
- Typing "kde" in KMail can cause heart attacks. Several people at Nové 
Hrady told me that it has already happened to them (not the heart 
attack, but the "deletion" of all messages in the current folder). I 
have been convinced that single character shortcuts should not invoke 
"destructive" actions. Therefore I propose to remove the binding of 'd' 
to "Move to Trash".

- Ctrl+A is the standard shortcut to select all (text in editors, files 
in Konqueror). I think that Select All Messages is used more often than 
Select Message Text (which is IMO hardly useful because it also selects 
the header and all embedded text files). Therefore I propose to use 
Ctrl+A for Select All Messages instead of for Select Message Text.

Comments?

Ingo
