Ah. This ought to be sorted out pretty quickly then.
Introducing modes is a good way to become the subtract of a number of  
voodoo practices so I'd avoid it if I were you. What is the problem  
with simply leaving the selection behaviour alone and using the same  
ctl-m/n hotkeys that we already have as ways of getting the  
implementors and senders? There isn't much point in making a simpler  
UI for getting to them at the cost of completely ruining the normal  
editing actions.

If you're original impetus for the change was to get to senders/ 
implementors faster it would probably be more widely useful if you  
could make the building and opening of the dratted message set  
browsers faster.
