Default Why the Delete button in a Distribution List does not show a dialo

When deleting a Distribution List under Contacts, there is no warning such
as
"Are you sure... Yes/No)". Your list is then deleted without any warning.

This is an awful design given the fact that when you delete anything there
is some warning message associated with a Delete Function.

Also, the Delete button is so close to the Save & Close button. Another
awful design. This is so dangerous specially when no warning message exists
when deleting and your Distribution List with 100's or more entries can be
deleted without any warning.


There's no need for a warning. First, it takes only a very minimal bit of
energy to think before clicking Delete, particularly with the "Remove" button
right there in front of you and second, even if you do delete the DL, you can
simply recover it from Deleted Items, just like any other item you delete.
