Instead, I'll warn about this.

If I had to do it all over again, there wouldn't be as many options. It gets 
surprisingly complicated to maintain and test, since each option increases the 
number of combinations.

More than once bugs have appeared in this area that didn't get seen until 
release, just because there are enough combinations. (Even though I have a 
bunch of great beta testers.)

PS On the other hand, permitting the use of arrow keys to move between panes is 
something I'd love to see in 1.0. I've never had issues with it, and people 
like it. One of the things that drives me nuts about Mail is how hard it is to 
get keyboard focus on the mailbox list. It's so difficult that I bet hardly 
anyone ever bothers.
