I just figured it out, I also use "k" and I didn't understand the bit about
ctrl-U. So after reading this message, I did a ctrl-U at the message, and
it made the Y go away, as if I hadn't received the message or read it.
I think this would be usefull if you Kill a message, and realize later that
you should have saved it to a file. It allows you to reselect the message
for download.
As for general use though, I think a person would be better off using the
kill function, and only using ctrl-u if the want to get the message back
from being killed.
I hope I am correct in all this, though, I bet everyone who is following
this thread, either already knew about this or just did the same experiment
I did.
Theres a U and a D at the bottom of my message list, I wonder if ctrl-D
does anything....
