Odd. Personally, I delete with 'd' in mutt.
I would suspect one of three things:
- possibly Delete is no longer sending what it used to (suspect your terminal
emulator) or the code from Delete (usually DEL (127), but often BS
(backspace, 8)).
- mutt may have changed its behaviour (unlikely)
- You may have a different mapping to that key in mutt (also unlikely)
If you type '?' to mutt it should display the keyboard mapping;
you can check that delete is bound to delete-message.
You might to better to join the mutt-users list here:
and ask there.

Reality is that which refuses to go away when I stop believing in it.
