+  This is now the way messages are handled for deletion in Spider.  If
+  you look closely you will see a 'D' following the message number.
+  This message is marked for deletion and will be deleted in 2 days if
+  nothing further is done.  Optionally you can use the command
+  _\bd_\be_\bl_\be_\bt_\be_\b/_\be_\bx_\bp_\bu_\bn_\bg_\be to delete it immediately.
