True, but he didn't ask "what happens when you press the d key". By
default, all that happens when you press the d key is that the message
gets marked for deletion, not actually deleted.
I suppose I could say "of course, it's perfectly recoverable, provided
you had backed it up in some way", after all, why ignore the
possibility that Bill had some other form of backup? (remapping 'd'
isn't the only method of saving yourself when you didn't mean to mark
a message as deleted.) But I felt that was rather outside the scope of
his question.
