+\r
+Hello,\r
+\r
+Looking through the archives of this list, I see that the topic of\r
+message deletion is, if not controversial, then at least non-trivial.\r
+\r
++ Requests for the provision of message deletion mechanisms have\r
+  appeared many times, and that various patches addressing the issue\r
+  have been submitted, and (IIUC) some of these are awaiting review\r
+  and might possibly make it into an official release in the future.\r
+\r
++ Having the 'deleted' tag cause messages to be deleted is,\r
+  apparently, fraught with peril of losing mail.\r
+\r
+\r
+I have two questions:\r
+\r
+\r
+1) Could you give me a summary of the dangers of allowing notmuch to\r
+   actually delete mail?\r
+\r
+2) How do you deal with mail that you would like to disappear from\r
+   your maildirs/IMAP servers? (An Emacs-based slant would be\r
+   particularle welcome.)\r
+\r
+\r
+Thank you for your input.\r
