if you change it to "Mark it as deleted" you'll be seeing what I'm
seeing, which is that Thunderbird loses the "seen" flag.
My patch will make it perform exactly like Thunderbird, except that
instead of a preference determining the behavior, the presense of the
Trash folder determines it. When a message is moved to the Trash folder
Seen status is maintained. When a message is marked as deleted, Seen
status is lost.

No, you're combining behaviors and removing the user's option to choose.
For example, on the default install of thunderbird (what most people
will use), that setting is not checked, though it is an option. An
option is what it should remain because those features are functionally
separate. If you don't want to be annoyed, you can change the option,
but it makes no sense to combine functions for what should be a user
determined preference. Just because it can work like you describe
doesn't mean that it should be the default behavior.
