93 OK, but this does not solve the problem of forgetting to put a tag when
\r
94 archiving a thread. Also my patch allows to put a tag without having to
\r
95 press "+" (so you don't have to think about adding tags when you archive
\r
96 your mail, you only have to press "a" and be reminded about it).
