Author/Date Missing keyboard shortcuts for context menus

The mail context menu has very few keyboard accelerators; only Delete and Properties have keyboard shortcuts. It would be nice if I could pop open the context menu using the keyboard and then M to select the Mark menu or C for the Create Filter menu.

Similarly, is there any way to add keyboard shortcuts for the scripts in the Tools menu?

Try adding an ampersand before the character you want to be the shortcut?

Given:
if (!AddToolsMenuItem(LoadString(IDS_DELETE_ATTACHMENTS), "DeleteAttachments"))
    MsgBox(App, "Couldn't add hook for DeleteAttachments");

You could edit the string name to something like this:
if (!AddToolsMenuItem("&Delete Attachments", "DeleteAttachments"))
    MsgBox(App, "Couldn't add hook for DeleteAttachments");

Much better, thanks.
On a related note, the context menu key does not work on folders in the tree view. Furthermore, there is no way to rename folders without the mouse. Adding a Rename item under the Edit menu or allowing pressing F2 when a folder is selected to rename the folder should fix this problem.
