#### Userscript to mass delete mailbox messages

So I heard the good people in PBMS complain about how hard it is to delete messages en mass, especially the auction ones, and thought it would be a good idea to create a script that help you do this. The script can automatically delete all visible (ie. out of the 50 most recent mail) auction messages*, and also adds a small checkbox on each message allowing you to delete them in bulk. If you have more than 50 mail it'll be a good idea to reload the page to get more mail to show up.
Install | Source
If you're on Firefox, you'll need to install Greasemonkey. If you're on Chrome, you'll be prompted to download the file. Open up your extensions tab and drag the downloaded script into the tab to install it.

- Yeah, I'm not sure why the "delete all read messages" option wasn't good enough, although I will say that it's sort of hidden in that little down triangle and hard to find.

- I guess this is for someone who purches a crap load from the auction house, and doesn't feel like clicking "next" a bunch of times to read all of them REAL fast so you can use the in-game mass delete option?

- 1. click through all the messages real fast, using the left or right buttons.
  2. click the downward facing caret at the upper left of the mailbox dialog
  3. choose "accept all attachments"
  4. click the caret again.
  5. choose "delete all read messages"
  -- good enough for me.

  Because in between the AH messages there are messages from friends I'd like to keep. This it makes much easier to delete the AH messages only
