[Alpine-info] Opening postponed messages

[L. K. via Alpine-info]

When I want to open a postponed message (Compose-Continue postponed composition-Yes) and I select the message,
Alpine asks "Deleted messages will be removed from folder after use.  Proceed?".
When I do not want to remove deleted messages, I am in a trap. The only way I have found is to kill the Alpine application.
Is there some setting or another way how to open the postponed message or at least escape from the postponed-msgs folder
without removing deleted messages?
(Windows, Alpine2.23 - 2.26)
