[MlMt] "Delete" key won't delete messages from browser

[Dave Carpenter]

My “Inbox” (composite of all account inboxes) allows me to delete a message from it. I highlight the message and press Delete and it disappears from the Browser and appears in the Deleted Messages mailbox. This is the behavior that has been since… I don’t know when.

But that one time it did not. Deleting messages using the Delete key now works. Don’t know what changed…

This means that deleting a message just means that it's moved to a different mailbox and it will seem like nothing happens (in retrospect, this was not a good design decision).
