confirmed ... anyway, personally I see no difference between a message
being moved to trash and a file at the Mac OS finder being moved to trash.

The latter clearly would be annoying for each and every Mac OS user, and
a good interface design *must* take user habits into account.

Therefore (though I understand some people don't care for a message the
same way they do for a file -- *but* what makes the difference???), from
an interface design standpoint E'rages current behavior is plain bad.

I'm sorry to see E'rages software designer team (longstanding Mac OS
fellows, for those who don't know) traveling down the MS road when they
really shouldn't -- and otherwise sticking to out-of-date Mac OS standards
(I'm referring to text edit suite) even if other apps released by MBU sport
much better user experience.

disclaimer -- I didn't even touch Office X, nor did I glance at a screenshot
available here and there. And I didn't read any Office X review. Therefore
my bashing might be voices from the past at Monday, 19th 2001.
