Hi, Xavier.  Do you currently mark things as "deleted" or "spam"?  If
not, this would have no affect on your search results.  If you do, do
you currently expect those messages to show up in searches?  If so, why
did you mark them as "deleted" or "spam" to begin with?

I agree with your point in principle (ie. I don't generally want my
searches tampered with behind the scenes) but the issue here is about
messages that have been explicitly tagged as a form of "trash".  Trash
is by it's nature something you're trying to get rid of.  If you wanted
to find something in the future, why would you put it in the trash in
the first place?

jamie.
