You don't need to open a message base to check its configuration. This will definitely slow down this function unnecessarily.

Instead:
```
canDelete = Boolean(msg_area.sub[this.subBoardCode].settings & SUB_DEL);
```

I'm not clear why you're doing the ```canDelete = canDelete ||` either. Since you've already checked that `CanDelete` is false, that seems unnecessary. And the `== SUB_DEL` is also unnecessary.

Ditto here. Not necessary to open the message base.

Here too. And you've got the other unnecessary bits too.

Thanks. Also, I realized afterward I don't need the "canDelete ||".
