What happen in the mailbox if you do delete and then re-order?

  Re-ordering messages does not restore deleted messages. The remaining
  messages are re-arranged according to their original relative order. For
  example, let the original message list be
  
    1 2 3 4 5 6

  Now delete some messages to get

    2 3 5

  and re-order to get

    3 5 2
  
  If I type "order" now, the messages will be re-arranged to give

    2 3 5

  Even though what was originally the second message is now the first message,
  it has the same original relative order with respect to the rest of the
  messages in the message list. If I type "delete" now, the message list
  contains

    2 3 5 4 6 1

  Deleted messages are restored to the end of the list and may be restored in
  any order. Restoring deleted messages does not re-arrange the existing
  messages.

  If I type "order" now, the message list is restored to its original
  condition:

    1 2 3 4 5 6

• Previous message: R. Clayton: "Assignment page limits."
