Well, on my laptop keyboard, the key labeled "Delete" actually sends
KEY_BACKSPACE, and there is no key that sends KEY_DELETE. Deleting
mail is a pretty common action, and I don't see a reason to make it
hard - only for people who have chosen to expunge mail immediately on
delete is this actually a destructive action.
