 I've thought about this when writing virtual folders code and I couldn't
find a good answer. So I finally decided to choose the safer alternative
and so deleting the message from a search folder doesn't really delete it.

 Would you _always_ expect it? It seems a bit dangerous to do it by
default. Ideally I'd like to implement both behaviour but I just don't see
any way to choose between them at UI level.

 No, technically this is not difficult to do. I didn't do it because I
didn't want to, not because I couldn't.

 Hmm, this is clearly a bug.
