Where do you find that delete needs a meta key?
Isn't it done with the Del or Delete key alone?

If you want to go via the key commands to edit menu items:
alt+E followed by D works on current trunk CVS, Linux

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ui/accessibility/mozkeylist.html doesn't mention
Ctrl+D in mail.

Netscape 4.x : alt+d on current message deletes message.
Trying to use my old hotkeys.

I believe it was decided that the Netscape 4 key sequence in this case was not
needed. The question was raised in bug 64251, at a time when the menu didn't
show which shortcut was assigned (it was blank). Per today it displays "Del",
which is the shortcut that works. You can also use alt+e+d. Resolving as invalid.
