<excerpt>When <bold>messages</bold> is viewing a message with a text inset, 
and the inset has input focus, <italic>some</italic> keystrokes (like spacebar)
 are intercepted by <bold>messages</bold> and perform their normal action.  
However, <italic>other</italic> keystrokes are taken, and inserted into the 
inset (even though the message it's <italic>inside of</italic> is readonly!).<

Yes, this is an old old issue.  (Obviously it's never been resolved reasonably.
)   Personally I believe the bindings should be done so that messages will not 
override any bindings the inset has.  Also, we should make the insets readonly,
 except there is no concept of "readonly" coded in dataobject.  (This should 
probably change.)<nl>

<excerpt>(This is probably related to the one above.)  Whenever you do an "
Insert File" into a <bold>text</bold> inset in a message, the file gets 
inserted <italic>into the parent document</italic> (message) rather than into 
the inset.<nl>

I can't replicate this problem...<nl>
