Suppose you have a folder containing
messages marked for deletion, and you
leave that folder.

Mahogany asks if you want to expunge all the
messages that are marked for deletion.  Good.

But the dialogue has the wrong default.
The checked default is to never show the
dialogue again.  The proper default is 
for this option to be unchecked.

Consider two people:
one wants to see the dialogue again,
at least in this folder, and one doesn't.
The current default forces saves the latter
one click but forces the first to uncheck
the option each time s/he leaves the folder.

The default that I propose would impose no
such burden on the user that prefers to 
retain the dialogue.  The cost to the other
user is one single click, once only, in their
lifetime use of Mahogany.

There is a second, less important use interface
consideration as well.  A person who does not
read the entire dialogue and clicks Yes or No
can accidentally change the default
dialogue behavior.  Such a change should be
actively chosen.

Cheers,
Alan
