Spec needs fix: Message should not have G as an access key since Show Ima&ges uses it. this bug is blocked by a bug where mpt has requested the spec be reconsidered since Message and Messages are too similar.

&h is reserved for Refresh, currently the spec recommends Hea&ders, menu uses &Headers. Can the spec be changed? I still prefer &Decrease over Re&duce (it's closer to nc4 too) [This would be cross browser, but since &Reload is always there, I see no reason for Re&duce, did I miss a user study]. Comments?
> &h is reserved for Refresh But the spec says `Reload', not `Refresh'. Once you fix that, there's no reason not to use `H' for `Headers'. > I still prefer &Decrease over Re&duce (it's closer to nc4 too) [This would be > cross browser Negative, captain. `Enlarge' and `reduce' are both things you only *do* to a thing; but `decrease' is something that you can both *do* to a thing *or* that can *happen* to a thing. So `enlarge' and `reduce' are more specific (== better) than `increase' and `decrease'. Ideally, though, these items should be adjectives, not verbs (as in bug 45491).
`H' for `Headers' - I'll update the spec > Message should not have G as an access key since Show Ima&ges uses it. Thanks for the catch. Lets use the first "e" for now.
per mail bug triage, mnemonics are not on top of priority of bugs we must fix for nsbeta3/rtm. mark nsbeta3-. We will fix bugs where there are two menu items using same letter as mnemonic. Putterman - if there is a patch for this from mozilla.org, do we take anyway?
Whiteboard: [nsbeta3-]
Target Milestone: M18 → Future
Removing the nsbeta3 nomination. These will be condensed into a smaller number of bugs and then renominated.

my mistake. Correcting milestone back to previous one set.
Target Milestone: Future → M18
Adding nsbeta3 keyword to bugs which already have nsbeta3 status markings so the queries don't get all screwed up.

I change resolution to Invalid for originally logged bugs for 3pane Main Menus. Some design changes happened since that time and now expectation is different. Current status of Main Menus is addressed in the summary bug 75622, which tracks a few leftovers for Main Menu mnemonic issues in 3-pane window according to updated Spec. So original ones can be closed.
