If you select/highlight a mail message in the thread pane, the delete
button should re-appear. This is the same behaviour as 1.1.18.

...interesting - it does that for Mail, but not for Newsgroups. When
I go from a message in my Mail Inbox to a message in a Newsgroup, the
Delete button hides completely and stays hidden until I go back to a
message in my Mail Inbox.
Dunno if that's as intended, but thanks.
As you cannot delete a message from a news group (except your own post,
in some circumstances), why would you need a delete button??
Like many people who don't quite understand the NNTP protocol and equate it to
mail or web or mailing list or something they thought up, you are confusing
DELETE (move to trash or just erase) with CANCEL (send NNTP CANCEL message,
attempt to remove this from every server everywhere). Oddly, people delete mail
from their mailbox and don't expect all other cc recipients will lose their
copy. That's the way the news reader should work, I don't want to see this
headers in the header list any more, I'm not interested. If the message is
downloaded, get rid of it. Just like mail.
SeaMonkey can take a delete rule in a message filter and not get excited because
it's not my message, why can't news work right? The conceptual problem is old,
whoever wrote the key bindings bound delete to mean cancel, k to mean throw away
this thread, and no obvious way to just throw the message away. I would love to
have news work as mail, and add some additional command to actually attempt to
sent the CANCEL.
