It seems to work okay, up until the point that it tries to delete the old
messages, then the message window scrolls wildly up and down for a while
(it seems that maybe deleting the first message causes a scroll to the top
of the list, then it scrolls back to the end, then back to the top,
etc...).  Is there a way to lock the list until the deletes are done?

It doesn't seem to mangle the first message though =)
