I see the strike-thru msgs as I would expect to. I'm currently hiding them with the "hide deleted msgs" option until I expunge manually (like you're doing) -out of site out of mind doesn't work for me. I know there still there. and my quota will soon remind me if I forget ;)
My problem is that I would like to have something like an "expunge deleted message older than" option. I just wanted to be certain such a thing didn't already exist within the "delete on exit" option. I guess this is turning into more of a feature request...

If you mean empty your trash folders on exit (or equivalently, expunge all folders with deleted messages), then no. > What is everyone else doing? I leave the deleted messages visible and expunge manually. I use Empty Trash from time to time in case I've forgotten any. I don't like "empty trash on exit". All these are personal preferences. There's no right or wrong about them. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
