Apparently, this breaks the ability to us the backspace key in the DIMP 
serach box on IE 6 (and other?) and Firefox 2 on WinXP, and Safari on OSX 
(when Safari works with DIMP)

Strangely, the delete key on my powerbook (which sends BACKSPACE) will 
both delete messages in the DIMP index pane *and* delete text in the 
search box when I use it with Firefox 2 for OSX.
