Hi Stewart,

Apologies, I didn't see your earlier email.

I think perhaps you are confusing keyboard shortcuts and accelerators?

I'm talking about:

                      accel.   shortcut
                      =================
  Empty Watebasket    E        -
  Close All Folders   e        Ctrl-Q

As you've noted, "Empty Watebasket" has no keyboard shortcut, but they 
both have an "accelerator" - the letter that is underlined in the menu - 
and they conflict, since they both use 'e/E'.

the accelerator is the thing that allows me to use "alt-f-e" to empty 
wastebasket, as a quick way of opening the menus. It's this that has the 
conflict.

The shortcut - which is not my problem - is the way to avoid the menus 
entirely.

cheers,
calum
