The obvious question here is how this affects the traditional usage of double-click on a word to select that word for cut/cop/ paste/etc. Is there some extra gesture you missed out?
Well ... that's kind of a problem now ;-)
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.
