Given the first reason I have no idea why I'm arguing, but I will point out
something...in Windows, if you want to cut and paste something from one window
into a message that you are composing in IMP, you *have* to use keybindings to
do the pasting because there is no "Edit" menu in the compose window. You can
use Control-V to do it. Having that keybinding certainly enhances the general
user experience.
Keybindings are faster than using the mouse. For something people use as much
as a mail reader, they are a great enhancement, IMHO.
