[MlMt] Using tab & shift-tab to move focus among MM controls not working right (r5690)

[Fritz]

I am also a user of keyboard navigation, and I have noticed the same 
thing. Another problem that may be related is that using space to read 
through unread mail doesn’t always work.  Sometimes it does nothing.  
Sometimes it will scroll the current message but not advance to the next 
unread message.

Also there is a fairly common keyboard shortcut on the Mac to move 
between tabs of Command-Shift-Right (or Left).  I use this routinely in 
other apps.  Is there a way to accomplish this in MM?
