But the message in A appears without a strike-through.  It is still fully present in both places.  The 
automatic delete behavior is not working.  I have to manually delete the message from folder A.  The same 
behavior occurs when I drag a subfolder - the subfolder and its contents are in both the source and 
destination locations.
