I'll probably automate this with QuicKeys. I'd just like to put in my humble
request, though, for adding this capability and making it the same command
as Word.

Reminds me of a guideline from Tognazzini's "Tog on Interface" book:
"Interpret user's responses consistently: Macintosh users expect the Delete
key in every text editor they ever come across to delete the last character
from the screen ..."

Unfortunately, Word has set up the expectation that Command-Delete will
delete the word to the left of the cursor. I do find it a tad dangerous that
a recoverable command from Word is interpreted by Entourage to perform an
unrecoverable deletion of the message that I'm composing. It doesn't even
warn me, or put it into the Deleted Items folder, it's just gone for good.
