Since you have it unchecked, you apparently do know what I mean. You
just hadn't mentioned it before.

Reasonableness is in the eye of the beholder. I think most people would
not think it reasonable to a a Junk plugin that did nothing. You could
always write one I suppose.

My way of hiding stuff is to turn off the automatic "mark as read"
feature, set my current view to "Unread messages" (in the Show:
drop-down menu) then to dismiss things I don't want to see using by
using Ctrl-K (or Ctrl-/ for all of them). That has the added advantage
of working across multiple clients, not all of which are Evo, something
which Ctrl-J won't do reliably as only Evo knows about its virtual
folders.

But that's just me.
