It would have helped a lot if this feature was documented in the documentation
that was sent out with PL21.  (Along with the documenting of the 'J' and 'K'
keys.)  It would have been even better if whoever did it, didn't muck with the
workings of the 'j' 'k' keys (which everyone understood already) and instead 
defined the 'J' 'K' to be used to skip over the deleted messages.  (IMHO ;-))

(This is not to imply that they aren't doing a great job, I just think that
as features go, this one wasn't an improvement in the classical sense of the
word.)
