Actually, no... but I was* at our camp in the Adirondacks, on a small
lake where fisherpersons could* trout, if they wished... :)

(I was jealous more of the results than the actions... )

The flags aren't the actual action... you are only flagging FOR not AS. 
It's a multi-step operation... possibly to minimize doing something you
didn't really mean to do?  First you flag the message for deletion. 

Then, when you get out of the area, you use Alt-A for area functions (at
the listing of areas screen), and among your choices are the chance to
Delete Marked messages.  When you choose that, a whole different screen
comes up, with further options.  Basically you just want to delete the
ones marked for deletion, although there are a lot of other flags you
can use or exclude by.

Alternatively, one can do Global actions by using the Alt-G functions,
with the same results for the entire packet...  Of course once it is
deleted, I'm pretty sure it's for keeps.

Hope this helps some.  :)
