Since `D' (single key) is bound to `move to trash' and `ctrl+D'  
(two key combo) is bound to `mark as deleted', having `Del'  
(single key) as an alternative for `mark as deleted' is useful.   
Binding `Del' to `move to trash' would give us two single-key  
bindings for that action, and only the `ctrl+D' binding for `mark  
as deleted'.

For me at least, `mark as deleted' is *really* useful for  
handling imap spam, 'cos my trash box is local, and I *really*  
don't want to download all that stuff just to delete it!

Best,
