I can verify that this happens on my Mac also. I thought at first it meant
that the user did not have "Require confirmation when deleting" checked in
General preferences, but I <do> have that checked, and yet the message gets
deleted without any confirmation dialog.
I would say this is a serious bug.
Of course, if you click on the "Edit" button first, and then select text and
press Delete, all that happens is that the selected text is deleted, as it
should be.
