Procedure

It is possible to delete items that are less than 1 day old; you enter a zero (0) in parameter Days-on-bulletin-board. In this case, even items that are marked for repeat delivery are deleted. Postponed items are not deleted.

The age of an item is determined by the date the item was mailed.

When an item is deleted, it is placed in the originator's Wastebasket.

The total number of records deleted is produced in the report.
