When message is highlighted what does "Fn-A" do?
I was attempting to hit Ctrl-A on a message to highlight the entire contents and instead I hit "fn-A" and the message disappeared but I don't know if it was deleted or hidden somewhere of what exactly "fn-A" did.

look in the archive folder. plain A is the shortcut to archive. If it is gmail that should be all mail.

what is printed on the A key? often but not always in blue?
There's a triangle pointing left in white like it would be used for a second set of arrow keys for gaming but nothing in blue.
well that will be what that particular keyboard does when the FN (Function key) is pressed.
Were you composing or reading or what when this happened does pressing CTRL+Z a few times reverse the action (It is undo)
The message disappeared from the list and I looked in the spam and the trash folder but found nothing.
Unfortunately Ctrl-Z is no longer an option as I had already shut Thunderbird down.
I tried fn with the left arrow on the right side of the keyboard it didn't do anything. Then I went back to the left side and did the fn-a again. Same thing the message disappears and then I followed that with a Ctrl-z but nothing happened.
It's doing something I just don't know what.
