Perfect.  I thought I had checked everything in the preferences.  Glad to
find it there already.

Sort of like Command-D in Microsoft Word means duplicate.  Oh wait, it means
Format...  :-)

My point is that Command-D isn't ingrained for duplication.  It should be
user-configurable.  Especially when there's a natural upgrade path from
Outlook Express (which uses Command-D for delete) to Entourage.

And I still don't understand why I would ever duplicate a message.

Sorry.  Let me explain further.  I have lots of folders to file e-mail in --
so many that they all don't fit in the folder view at once.  Rather than
scroll the folder view to where I want to file a particular piece of e-mail,
I grab the e-mail from my Inbox and drag it down to the bottom of the folder
view.  I want the folder view to scroll up until I see the folder I want --
at that time I can drop the message in the folder.

And that works.  Sort of.  The auto-scrolling that the folder view does is
not very consistent.  It sort of starts then stops then if I wiggle the
mouse a little bit it scrolls a bit more.  But it doesn't behave like it did
in Outlook Express and it feels broken.
