In general, I think that until/unless notmuchsync can be more assured of
doing the right thing, and in particular, if the deleted tag is likely
to become official, notmuchsync should default to not setting it.

...or at least, I'd prefer that.  Then I can add --tag-deleted if/when I
want to.  Of course defaulting to --tag-deleted would also be OK, as
long as there's a --no-tag-deleted.

Thanks
