Expunging messages from Folder expunges messages from Trash (was [Evolution] Evolution Bug Day, Take 2)

[Eric Lambart <lambart got net>]

I still find it very counter-intuitive and frustrating.  One reason I
expunge messages is to speed up loading and viewing messages in a folder
that gets a lot of traffic (i.e. the evo list), and that I am viewing
often (i.e. the evo list).

I see the Trash as a place to manually empty every so often (or choose
for it to be emptied automatically on exit, or whatever); a place to go
find those messages you deleted but realized later that you still needed
some info from.

I don't mind if my Trash is humongously cumbersome.  That's my problem.
It doesn't bother me because I rarely want to look at it.  I will never
complain that Evo is slow opening my Trash box (well, within reason...).

I feel rather strongly about this, but it would be a lot less present on
my mind if I wasn't constantly doing Alt-V-D, Alt-V-D as a workaround
for the bug that fails to notify me when new messages get filtered into
a folder.  I frequently expunge the folders, rather than having tons of
deleted messages always getting shown and re-hidden when I do this.

Since I'm sure some of you out there also feel strongly about keeping
this the way it currently works, I would actually be willing to beg,
plead and/or constantly nag someone to add this as a user option
checkbox: "Expunge messages from Trash when expunged from original
folder?"

Thanks for listening
