I've read maybe six thousand email messages over the past eighteen
months, and not once have I used a command that would delete the
current message and go on to the next message.

Sure, I'll mark the most recent message read and go on.  I could even
set things up such that all read messages get deleted when I exit the
group, which would have the effect you desire.

But I don't.  I like mail.  I save it.  I let it gracefully expire if
necessary and archive it as I desire.

I see no need for this command.  Others may, but I'd never hit it.
Please save my keys for more useful commands.

Jack.
