Hi Mitch, Why are you getting hostile? I wasn't even responding to your post, wherever it is. Wow. I though people were asking about how to double delta with one stroke when they *first* deleted a message, not asking how to clear out the deleted items folder. I wasn't reacting to your perfectly correct notification that there's this command in the Files menu. To me, that's a different question than asking how to permanently delete a message right form the Inbox, to start with. No? If you don't think so, fine.tba Although why a person wouldn't look through his or her program menus in the firs place is a little iffy, to me, but whatever. Anyway, no reason to snap at me. Honest. Besides which, I could swear I recently had a perfectly friendly exchange with you in private email about something, didn't I? What is all this nastiness? Telling me not to reply to an email to the list? I'm confused.

I simply pointed out that it is easy to dump the accumulated messages that might rest in the Deleted Messages folder with the keystroke I mentioned. Please resist the urge to reply further.

Of course pressing Delete alone doesnt "double delete" it, but pressing shift delete will do that, even providing you with a chance to retract the move in case it was accidental, just as in Windows explorer. I don't understand why, just because the program offers control D in its Files menu for the purpose, which has always seemed to me, up front, a grattuitous redundancy, this should obscure the fact that the delete key still performs normally. Which it does. No flaming, please. Press whichever keys make you happiest to press. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Mitchell" <mitch44@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2006 11:23 AM Subject: Re: Email Key Stroke Hi, This may be well known by all but to quickly dump the messages in the Deleted Messages Folder just hit Alt plus the letter E key followed by the letter Y key twice. This is not exactly what you wanted of course but it is slightly related.

If I do find a keystroke that does what I want it to do, I will let you know.

If you don't want it to hang around go to your deleted items folder, delete it and enter on yes when they ask you if you are sure.
