But that's not really the same thing, right?

AFAIK, folders aren't really "closed" until I quit pine (or at least my
inbox and my other stayopen folder).

I presume the originator wants a message to automatically show up in the
trash can as soon as they hit delete.  (Which would really make a copy of
the message if using IMAP, and delete-and-hide the original message, sort of
how messages are hidden via filters even when I normally want to see deleted
messages.)

Sorry if someone's already suggested this -- I don't think I'd 
read all of each post on this thread.

   There ~is~ a way to do this which only requires a couple 
additional key strokes...or maybe a few.

   Why not create a folder called something like "X" (or even 
"Trash", or "Deleted", or whatever) & use "s" instead of "d" to 
delete, but you're actually saving it to the folder you've 
created for specifically for this?

   While I've become accustomed to permanently deleting over the 
years (& was really annoyed by having to open another folder to 
really get rid of deleted mail when I was in Windows), I don't 
think it would take one long to get used to saving to that folder 
instead of pressing either "d" or the delete key....

Thanks, that's actually a very clean way to do it.  We seem to
only be one keystroke away from having an option in PINE to do
that too !!

Thanks again.
