Chosen solution

Go to tools, options, Display, Advanced tab and under the Reading section, click the box the reads "Close message window/tab on move or delete"

this will take one back to the email list and not open next email automatically.

I take it, Matt, you were being facetious. This is not a solution to the question. If i delete the email from within the open email, i want to go to the list not automatically to the next one.
