Cindy,
I just tried Sarah's idea, and yes, after you press delete the next message
opens automatically. Furthermore, the one sent to the deleted messages
folder closes back up. Wonderful timesaver!!

Thanks for explaining, Sarah. That means that the
other suggestions I sent to Rui offlist woudn't work,
either.
After you press delete, does the next message open and
get read automatically so you don't have to press to
open it?
