During your mailx interactive session in your example the mail is not actually deleted until you leave the session. Even then it is only deleted if you leave the session with the "q" (quit) command not the "x" (exit) command.
However you should have had the error message "Inappropriate message" when trying to look at message 145 after deleting it.
