No, but if you insist, there is a workaround. Save the message to be deleted to a temporary folder (create one if necessary). Open the temporary folder in another instance of mutt. Delete your message, purge, and exit. I have to wonder why you are deleting messages that you don't really want to delete. Perhaps you should be moving them to another folder instead? -dsr- -- http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference. You can't defend freedom by getting rid of it.
