Was that auto deleted item marked as Junk when you found it in Trash
folder ?

No. Plain e-mail, just the next one in the thread like the ones
before. No flags of any kind. No 'scam' notice, no 'junk'.

If I hadn't seen the few odd, unexpected ones in Trash earlier in
the day, I wouldn't have even been paying attention.

As it is, I haven't seen it happen since, though I've also been
pretty deliberate in detailed steps since. Just in case, I ran
'Compact' against that Inbox after the noted auto-delete. Maybe that
cleaned up relationships. Maybe.
