I find the Update Options menu query very annoying, since I always want to delete expunged messages, ie, maintain a clean set of mail files.  There should be a way to not have to answer this question every time.  Two possible ways':'
'
-- Use the middle button on Update to mean automatically delete expunged messages.'
'
-- Provide a global variable switch that allows me to turn off the Update Options menu and set the global update option.'
'
The first seems best to me.'
