Maybe I'm missing something but M-<key> works fine. In this case M-d. M
not working would render emacs useless in a terminal I would have
thought. Possibly I get better results because its urxvt in tmux? I dont
recall M-d causing any issues in any other setups - I did have issues
with functions keys however! I tried getting me head around termcap etc
but, well, chickened out...

Still, if $ is popular then grand ;) I just wonder why set another key
where there is already another incumbent. Leave it to the individual.

Also the spam handling can be set for different marks on a per group
basis I believe. Not that I ever tried it.

So a kill could also result in spam processing.
