For what it’s worth, the following variation continues to work for me 
in 5850:

"u" = ( "toggleReadState:" );

I know this doesn’t answer your question. It’s just a possible 
alternative should you want to resort to it. Personally I find it 
confusing to have two shortcuts for a boolean option; it’s like having 
two switches on the same lamp, one for on and one for off.

Oddly, and possibly relatedly, at least one of my moving and filing key 
bindings doesn’t work on a Mac where BBEdit has been newly installed. 
The binding above does work and is in the same plist file, so I know the 
file is being found correctly. The mail account is the same as on the 
Mac where the binding works as expected, so it’s not that the mailbox 
doesn’t exist:

// Move to "Waiting"
	"w" = ( "moveToMailbox:", 
"imap://<*address*>@mail.pobox.com/INBOX/Waiting" );

I can press w with a message selected until I grow old and die, and it 
doesn’t work on this second machine. I’m baffled.
