Well, it's not spam, it's actually mail from a customer... And I am 
guessing that it does not conform to the spec... But I was just curious 
why Evolution doesn't handle this since most of the other MUA does?

mean that when I delete a message I really mean to delete it, I don't 
want to delete it twice (all though expunge deletes all marked messages
