The single most important reason is that it is exactly the opposite of  
the current UI behavior.  Changing this kind of a behavior is a bad  
thing, unless the new behavior is unquestionably the correct one.   
Which it isn't.

First, you incur a penalty every time you open a message in dynamic  
preview mode.  This increases server load.  This is not an issue with  
traditional view, since you need to open the new page anyway in order  
to trigger the action.

Second, it is quite possible that the next message is either a message  
you don't care about, so it is just a waste of user time to do this.   
Or even worse, the next message is a spam message that the user has no  
interest in displaying and, in fact, may be concerned by the content  
inside of that message.  We should not be showing these messages  
without explicit confirmation by the user.

FWIW, the Shift-Delete shortcut performs what you are asking for in  
the dynamic view (delete and move to next message).  I believe that is  
sufficient for power users who want to do what you are asking.
