It can't go into Deleted Items because it's not an item yet if it's not
saved. (If you had saved it as a draft, that's where it would have gone.)
You must have at some time checked the box that said "Don't Remind Me" when
you got a dialog "Do you really want to delete?".
I agrees with Bryan that unsaved windows (draft messages, notes, events,
tasks) should have their own "Do you really want to delete?" dialog, so that
even if you say "Don't remind me" for a saved item, it doesn't apply on an
unsaved one. I'd still like the option to say "Don't remind me" for these
however.
Perhaps that's how it already works? I can't remember. if not, it would be
an improvement. Some people (Bryan?) might even say that you shouldn't have
that option with unsaved windows, to protect you from your own
short-sightedness. i don't think I'd agree.
Bryan, you can now go into Prefs-->Notification-->Restore Defaults, and the
next time that warning dialog comes up, don't check "Don't Remind me".
You're the one that did this once, after all!
