They shouldn't be, and I sent a patch to fix that a while ago:

id:"1307561409-5646-3-git-send-email-jrollins at finestructure.net"

But of course feel free to delete them before sending.

While I agree that Carl's method is pretty good, there is absolutely no
"Right Way" to process email; it's a completely personal, subjective
thing.  "Right Way" implies to me that other people *should* be
processing their mail that way, which I disagree with.

I'm generally against excessive unneeded configuration, but in the case
of key bindings it's definitely necessary.  Fortunately emacs is so
fundamentally flexible one can always modify the keybindings to their
hearts content.
