I don't use rmail anymore, but as a general note, you should
not make decisions like this based on a specific keyboard layout.

For example, on a Danish PC keyboard, the three keys to the right of
"M" produces the following characters (shifted in the first row):

        ;  :  _
        ,  .  -

while < and > are on a separate key, and / is above 7.
