It is, of course, a little more forgiving than that. The messages are
only deleted when you leave the index view of the mailbox in question
or if you explicitly tell mutt to update with a '$'. Until then the
messages are only marked for deletion with the 'D' beside them. If you
wish you can undelete them at this stage.
