U D Man Paul! I was hoping it was a known problem (or in this case, a
known feature). So after reading your explanation, I went into
~/.claws-mail, grepped everything for 'next_on_delete' and found it to
exist in clawsrc, exited all copies of Claws, changed the value from 0
to 1, reran Claws, pressed d again, and it performed exactly how Claws
has performed for the past 5 years I've been using it.

Whew, that had me worried!

Thank you!

Is it safe to assume the next_on_delete=0 feature is for people who
start reading their mail latest-first?

Keep up the good work, and thanks for helping me.
