That's interesting. Is this an IMAP connection? I didn't think that any of the local mailbox formats would allow you to keep a D flag through a sync, or that the trash flag would be any different... % % This happened once again after I sent my initial email, feh!

Ah.

Well, you may have to particularly define "confused" as "didn't do what I expected it to" :-) I expect that that's what it was, though. % % I'm guessing this was my fault, as things didn't make sense the way the two % options were set...oh well.
