VBA code to permanently delete mail item - and attach to a shortcut? Ideas?

[tkutter]

I am familiar with VBA, but not for outlook 2002. I was looking to
get some ideas on how I could do the following:

Create a function that would take the currently selected mail item and
permanently delete it - Not just put it in the deleted items folder,
but delete it. My idea would be to look at an email, then hit a
shortcut key (say for example, ctrl-d) and BAM - the item would be
gone.

My reason for this is because everything in my deleted items folder
gets archived (I want to keep it around). But I get alot of mail that
I know I dont want to keep around, so I dont mind getting rid of it
permanently.

Im just not familiar enough with the semantics of vba outlook yet to
do it.

Ideas?

Just press ctrl-del or shift-del. Also why do people insist that the deleted
folder is for archiving and not another folder(s).

like Jason said, use shift delete.. .and use a folder called Archive for
archiving - if moving the messages to it is too much work, put your energy
into writing vba to move the messages on one click. You'll find VBA help at
slipstick.com and outlookcode.com
