I was working on a patch, but was unhappy. What about this: we add an  
option to copy/move actions of the filters: keep deleted state or  
always clean it (that is as we do now). This way people who hide  
deleted messages will use the keep deleted state, so that they will  
never see the dups, for the people wanting to have the deleted messages  
moved/copied around but still deleted (to show that they are  
unimportant as you mentionned Peter) they can do it also, and finally  
this would enable people who want the current behaviour to be able to  
do it still. Question: what should be the default?
