AAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!  I don't care what you do with the non-cataloged
messages! Color them black, color them green, color them orange and
green, paint the whole row paint only a few columns, delete them
outright. I DON'T CARE!!!  Just do what makes sense to you!!!

--Dicey, who has far more cataloged than non-cataloged messages and
who is sorry she suggested blacking things out in the first place, it
being only a whim of hers anyway and who notes that you can select
multiple, non-contiguous rows by holding down the CTRL key and
clicking the rows, which should shorten the deletion process considerably.
