After your original suggestion, I tested it (as I said):  The deleted 
message was in the "Local / Trash" folder, and there were the usual 
options to 'Move To... / Copy To...', but none to "Undelete Message", if 
that's what you meant -- but that seems quite enough to me, since it 
allows exactly that result (copying or moving the deleted message back 
to its original folder). BTW, I suppose a "Compact Folder" on the one 
where the delete and reinstatement have happened, to keep things neat (I 
usually do that).

What I didn't understand in the previous message was the statement that 
"Edit > Undelete Message, mapped to Ctrl+Z, exists", since I don't see 
exactly that option anywhere -- but, again, that's just curiosity, since 
my need has been resolved by your suggestion; thanks again.

I was fixated on the word "delete", and not on the actual action...

Do you do that, too?
