Did you test it yet? Sure looks like it would get the job done.
Is there anything else you "changed"?

Although I advise users to switch to Firefox, I worked around the issue by allowing "alt + click" to behave the same as "ctrl + click".
To implement it, change line 130 in program/js/common.js from:
opcode += (e.ctrlKey && CONTROL_KEY) + (e.shiftKey && SHIFT_KEY);
To:
opcode += (((e.altKey == true) ? e.altKey : e.ctrlKey) && CONTROL_KEY) + (e.shiftKey && SHIFT_KEY);
If this doesn't cause any problems, maybe it should be added to trunk?

The biggest problem people moan about is multi-select. It is not intuitive to use a key modifier like Shift or Control to select multiple messages.
What is not intuitive in this behavior? All apps behave like this.
In addition, in IE7 when you control-click it opens the message in another tab, so if you control-click 10 messages to delete them, you now also have 10 tabs to close.
This is a problem currently not solved because IE7 does not allow the javascript to cancel the event. And here we have a conflict between two different points of view: some people want to have the message subject as real link in order to open the message in a new tab by ctrl-clicking it and others want to select multiple messages using ctrl-click.
Is there something I am missing on this problem? Is there a setting where I can enable an old school checkbox column for people to use in multi-select?
We don't have checkboxes and there won't be any checkboxes at all. And please don't start yet another endless discussion about this!
The only solution I see is to tell the users that they should not click the message subject (but another col or whitespace) when selecting multiple messages with ctrl.
