Thanks, I guess people were afraid of what happened in 2002 (right
extremists entered the second turn) might happen again and this was one
of the reason they went to vote massively.
Concerning gnubiff, I'm no more the principal maintainer so I forward
your mail to the list. However, since the start of gnubiff, people have
been asking for the possibility of deleting emails so I guess it's maybe
time to seriously consider this option. The big difficulty would be to
have bug-free code to ensure that we won't delete any email by errors. I
will let Robert Sowada give his answer since he is the principal
maintainer.
