ALT-Backspace is Undo

I was using Outlook 2007 and I accidentally had my alt key stuck on my keyboard. When I hit backspace to delete a character, it deleted the last little bit I typed.  It turns out this is a fairly standard feature of the edit box being used there (also used by Notepad).  By using Spy++, I saw that it is sending an EM_CANUNDO and if it is enabled, sends a EM_UNDO.  I tried this in the Wordpress edit window as well.  Unfortunately, the redo button doesn’t enable.  So you are better off using Control+Z anyway.
