Make that several people plus one. I would like to be able to mark for
deletion: individual messages, given threads, and (the contents of)
whole groups (e.g. JUNK), all from within YARN. Then, when I exit, I
can expire everything marked for deletion.
Messages I know I want to keep go into a folder. Messages I may want to
refer to again stay in the database as 'read'. Messages that I don't
ever want to see again should be markable for deletion.
Apart from that, I think YARN is superb!
