I've noticed this several times recently:

1. Click a message header and press Enter to read the
message.
2. Press Del to delete the message.
3. The next message header is highlighted
automatically. Click Enter to read it, but instead it
is deleted.

This is not the end of the world, since I can read it
in the Trash folder. But it does seem odd. Anyone know
whether this behavior is by design?

Betterbird 115.19.0-bb37 (64-bit), but I'll bet it's
the same in Thunderbird.

Nov 4, 2008 - the day when everything went
from being Clinton's fault to being Obama's fault.

My apologies, that's exactly what I did.

I realized I had the wrong group within about a minute of posting, so
I canceled it at n.i.n, then refreshed my copy of the article
headers. My article didn't appear. That usually means that the cancel
was successful and n.i.n didn't propagate the article, but this time
that obviously was not the case.
