Go into Options...General Options and set Hide Filed Messages to Yes. Then hilight the message, press the menu button and select Save. Delete the original, press the menu button and select View Saved Messages.
Puts the message in a separate "saved" folder. Short cut key V works for the saved messages as well if you don't want to pull up the full menu. I don't think it will auto-delete after a certain amount of days either. It all depends on your settings for the saved messages.
