To the best of my knowledge, no such keystroke exists and I don't think that those who use a mouse can perform this function either. 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.

I am using Outlook 2002 and XP Home. Take care, John
