That would result in a duplicate message existing if your undelete efforts succeed, but even if you lose the original message you'll have the copy. Regards, -- dave [ please don't CC me ]

Well there are so many ways: 1. type the message number 2. use previous-entry next-entry (bound to K/J) instead of previous-undeleted next-undeleted (arrow keys) 3. use undelte-pattern (U) 4. exit mutt instead of quit 5. use toggle-write (bound to % by default) to make the mailbox unwritable, then change to another mailbox and back.
