small database. It would also allow me to keep the old message pages
around.
The modifications to do it are simple. The routine delmsg() in
mhamain.pl is what is used to delete a message from an archive.
Until an "official" change is available, you can modify the
routine to skip the file deletion. If you use -rmm, then you
will need to conditionalize file deletion based on auto-deletion
or explicit deletion.
