This is terminal-specific, and it's quite possible they aren't supported by
your terminal.  When I use the "od" command here (from the shell)
I can list the character sequences that are generated by the Left and Right
keys, but Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right don't generate anything:

(Ctrl+D on an empty line exits od)

Anyway, the solution is to edit timkeys.cfg and bind the keys you want to
use (provided your terminal supports them) to the READgotoreply and
READgotooriginal functions.  I just use the - and = keys:

; Unbind these

;+            READnextareanewmail
;-            READprevareanewmail
;^cursorright READgotoreply
;^cursorleft  READgotooriginal

; Use these instead

=            READgotoreply
-            READgotooriginal
