AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I get it. That's because you have trash= set to Google's Trash, which is how you tell it that you want things purged forever. So $ obeys the trash= variable, which trashes it completely. If you drop trash= and use my macros instead for deleting, which actually save to Trash instead of deleting, you should be fine. -Robin
