After being spammed by "out of office" messages, I wanted to add a Lotus Notes (LN) rule to move these types of messages from my Inbox into the Trash folder. However, LN doesn't provide an action that moves messages to the Trash folder. Instead, the action that sort-of fits my requirement is to "Delete (don't accept message)" which I think means that LN will just delete these messages, sight unseen. I prefer to review my mail before permanently deleting them so my workaround is to create an action to "Move to Junk" then review the Junk folder before deleting messages.

Cannot redo changes in Lotus Notes editor
There is no redo feature in the Lotus Notes 8.5 (LN) editor, so don't use the undo feature expecting to be able to redo your changes. I got caught out when I undid one change too many while editing a message. There is an Enhancement request: Redo feature in Lotus Notes client from 2009.

An icon called an icon
In Lotus Notes 8.5.3, some of the alternative text for icons in the mail view is useful (e.g. SameTime icons show the user's phone number and availability) but often the alternative text is the useless "icon called an icon" text such as "Paperclip Icon" for a paperclip or "Unopened yellow envelope Icon" for ... you can guess. Searching for the icon names in the Local Help results in 0 hits. Eye-rolling.
