Subject: 23.0.60; (setq mac-option-modifier nil): Shift-Alt = Shift
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 21:23:25 +0200

After setting
(setq mac-option-modifier nil)
the alt-key (option-key) combinations work as desired, but shift-alt- 
key acts as if only shift had been pressed. (In the view-lossage, you  
can see me pressing alt-w (for Sigma) a couple times, then shift-alt-w  
(for German left quotes), which get turned into shift-W.)
(This apparently has been true for a couple of weeks now.)

Subject: Use (setq mac-option-modifier 'none) instead
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:21:52 +0100 (CET)

If you set mac-option-modifier to none, it will work as expected.
I am not sure about the utility of the behaviour when the value is nil
(if any).
