Actually I am now remembering (?) that apart from the inbox messages that 
appear as a direct result of test data import, the inbox will also display 
"virtual" messages that are generated as a result of fetched queries returning 
unreviewed lab results and documents. Therefore I expect it will not be 
possible to actually delete such virtual messages despite that users are 
currently presented that option in right-click.

It does raise two questions:

1. even if the right-click "delete" could be contextually unavailable for such 
items, I had earlier proposed that there also be buttons so it would be helpful 
to present to the user why such messages cannot be deleted... maybe "beep" plus 
display feedback in the status line.

2. presently, deletion does not refresh the screen. Can it please do so?
