[MlMt] How to change key bindings in Composer window?

[Mike Hucka]

So, this is interesting.  Most of my key bindings from 
~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict work, but the two that 
don't seem to act properly are:

         "~<"    = (moveToBeginningOfDocument:);
         "~>"    = (moveToEndOfDocument:);

Is there something special that MailMate does with respect to those two 
particular functions?  What happens is that instead of moving to the 
beginning/end of the document, they cause the cursor to move to the 
beginning/end of paragraphs.

Thanks,
MH
