I'd vote for that. I sometimes hit the Del key when looking at some
other window without realizing that Evo has focus, thus deleting a
message. It can be recovered of course but it's annoying.

Alternatively, make undeleting easier using a shortcut, e.g. Shift-Del,
but I think that would be a good deal harder to implement.
