This is too extreme. I want to have to type a "real" key (but only a single key) to delete a message. Typing just enter or space and having that delete/expire the message is too dangerous. However, "auto-tick" like Kai Grossjohann suggested may be a reasonable option. I don't recall seeing this in the manual or FAQ, but of course being Emacs, I can program it ... But if someone has code for it, I'll try it. [By the way - the name of my "husband" who I set up to use VM, is also Nathan Williams.] -- --Per Bothner bothner@pacbell.net per@bothner.com http://home.pacbell.net/bothner/
