    Doesn't bother telling us how he is reading mail, expects us to give an
    answer. Did you try the DEL button?

    This is normal on some systems:

    If "DEL" is not the correct command key, try viewing the menu for the message reader you're using.

    SyncTERM is a terminal program. That wasn't the question. Which terminal program you use should make little/no difference in how you delete messages.
