That's not quite true. TB! does not delete messages at midnight only.
It deletes them the same time they have arrived, but x+1 days later.

This message will reach me at about 10:58 Tuesday (april 2) local time
and I've set the TBUDL to automatically delete messages after five
days. That means that this message will not get deleted until after
10:58 (or is it 10:57? I'm not sure) at Monday (april 8).

It would make more sense if it was deleted at 10:58 Sunday (april 7).
