-- Messages bug -- (key binding)

When messages is viewing a message with a text inset, and the inset
hasinput focus, some keystrokes (like spacebar) are intercepted
bymessages and perform their normal action.  However, otherkeystrokes
are taken, and inserted into the inset (even though the messageit's
inside of is readonly!).

Pressing Esc-~ while the inset has input focus doesn't do what you'd
expect(make the message writable), but rather makes the insetreadonly
like it ought to have been in the first place.

[An Andrew ToolKit view (a footnote) was included here, but could not be
displayed.]-- Messages bug -- (Insert File)

(This is probably related to the one above.)  Whenever you do an "Insert
File"into a text inset in a message, the file gets inserted into
theparent document (message) rather than into the inset.

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>
