Deleting Messages in Auto-File Log deletes Messages
When looking at the Auto-file Log and you delete a message, it will actually delete the message.
This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
If you are looking at the Auto File Log and a message is highlighted, if you click on the delete key, the message will be deleted, by being moved to the deleted mail folder.
