That's the problem if you use the german translations for the
original english commands. Here I use usually the original english:
q:Quit d:Del u:Undel s:Save m:Mail r:Reply g:Group ?:Help
^^^^^^^
and as you can see, here I constantly have to use a 'u' for Undelete
instead of a 'u' for the german translation 'Behalten'. Thats also
the reason why I use only the above locale option.

That's the way which I have been using from the first step to
start with Linux (1992) until now. :-)
