Unbinding Delete in MT-NW groups window

At work I often have both my MT-NW and Mail windows on the screen at the
same time, and I'll be going back and forth between them (we use a
newsgroup internally for some monitoring functions). Occasionally I'll
lose track of which one is the current app, and I'll type Delete,
intending to delete the current mail message, but instead it deletes the
newsgroup from MT-NW's groups window. I have to go back to the full
group list and re-subscribe to the group.

Can anyone think of a way to get rid of this shortcut in MT-NW? Does
anyone think there should be a confirmation dialogue?

Try going to Preferences / Interface Options and turning off some or all
of the Keyboard shortcuts listed.

Alternatively you can close the window and not save it. You will of
course lose other changes such as messages marked read since the
previous save.
