TB!'s threading is useless to you for that single reason?! Especially
since <del> deletes the message?
<del> delete message
<Shift><CNTRL><Del> Delete whole thread.
If the novice wishes to delete a single message with knowledge of those
two keyboard shortcuts, which would the novice intuitively choose? It's
one message so I personally will happily use the easier shortcut which is
the single key <del>. Furthermore, if I use the <del> key to delete single
messages in a thread, why would I look at a single message, decide that
it's a thread (which I think is technically incorrect since it takes two
or more messages to form a thread) and want to <fanfare here> delete the
entire, complete, *thread* with <CTRL><SHIFT><Del>. I therefore beg to
differ on that proposed piece of intuition. :-)
!But hold on a minute! I noted that the keyboard shortcut you stated for
deleting an entire thread is <CNTRL><DEL>. AFAIK, that's incorrect. With
the correct shortcut <SHIFT><CTRL><Del>, you *can* delete single message
*threads* 'intuitively! I just tried it.
