however if mutt considers to implement a very low quality trash, what does
that mean ?
1/ Mutt developpers are lazy ;)
2/ There are so few people needing a trash by default that it
really doesn't worth to implement a trash
3/ Mutt folks consider that having a trash is a bad idea and
they don't want to push people in using it.
My choice is obviously not 1/. I can't believe in the second point so I
can only see 3/ therefore my initial question.
