Harrumph! It gets worse. SHIFT-DEL, though it's shown in the Shortcuts dialog as being associated with the "Delete" action, does not in fact do anything. Furthermore, the Delete action does not appear in the context menu of the mailbox list pane nor of the message preview pane nor in any of the menu-bar menus. Why would they remove all these functions? What the hell is going on? Are they trying to turn KMail in a mail client for babies? Actually, I cannot believe this is intended. Rather, I think it's probably an inadvertent consequence of the series of upgrades I've done over the years. While KDE applications are infamous with me for resetting all my toolbar customization whenever I make a .N upgrade (say, from 3.4.x to 3.5.x), I suspect there are some more insidious side-effects of keeping the same configuration files I've had since I installed SuSE 9.0 and upgraded to 9.1, then 9.3 and now 10.0.

Hi,
In KMail 1.8 (KDE 3.4.2) I could mark a whole topic thread as "read". Now the "Mark Thread" sub-menu of the Message menu has only "Watch Thread" and "Ignore Thread."
What gives? I've looked through the Preferences dialog, but I can't find any way to enable these commands. Are they simply gone? If not, how might I get them back? If so, why??
