Under regular OE, when I click delete on a message it goes away.

When I click delete on a Newsgroup message, I get this very annoying prompt
asking me if I'm really sure I want to delete the message.

How can I turn this off?

Thanks in advance.

Not possible.

set a news rule to delete posts older than xxx days
run the rules and posts will be deleted without prompts

Thanks...but I want to delete individual item(s). I already have your
suggestion in place.

I just want to get rid of the annoying OE box.

Sorry, that is hardcoded into OE. No option exists to turn it off.
Very annoying. You are deleting the message only in your local message
store. You might instead want to create a "Hide Ignored Messages" view
and use that. Then you can can click in the Watch column of a message
to mark it for hiding (a red hazard symbol appears). When you next
visit the same group, that message will be hidden. Since you are
probably deleting messages so you won't be bothered seeing them again in
the future, hiding them with a custom view works just as well.

Thanks. This sounds like something worthy of trying.
