Delete+Next / Delete+Previous on Beta?

Does the ability for Delete & Next / Delete & Previous exist on the Beta interface?

Each time I delete a message, I'm returned to the folder list.

Nope. However, if you want to view the Next (older message), you can hit 'Enter' when you're returned to the folder list. It's not really intuitive though; there's a message selector barely visible on the left-hand edge of the message, which shows that the Next message is highlighted when you are returned to the folder list.

For those of us who read in reverse chronological order, however, we have to hit 'k' first to move the selector up, and then press 'Enter'.

Actually, I've noticed that the message selector does not work reliably after deleting a message. Quite often, generally after new messages arrive, the new interface code will lose track of where the selector is. Hitting J/K does nothing in that case, so you're back to clicking on a message to reset the selector's position.
