Now that Austin's excellent tag exclusion patch set [0] has been pushed, the question remains if we want to support any delete-handling key bindings in emacs. Based on the show-mode improvements I recently sent [1], the following patch set implements thread and message delete keys. This is the last I'm going to comment on this issue. If we don't want to support this, we should put together something on the wiki that states we don't want to support it and that users should just bind it themselves (with a nice explanation how), so that we can try to reduce the number of future patches on the issue. Given the number of patches we've had on this issue, though, it's clear that a lot of people expect this functionality, so we may want to seriously consider supporting it. Given Austin's tag exclusion stuff, and the fact that "deleted" tags are excluded by default, we now have the functionality that Carl originally wanted to see, so it's not so unreasonable to support this functionality anymore. jamie.
