Yes, I've already covered that. If the sender ever deletes messages
from their outgoing mail store then they are annoying the recipients.
I personally would certainly be exceedingly annoyed to see arbitrary
messages from my inbox suddenly start disappearing because of
circumstances I had no knowledge of and no control over.

You listed many different ways in which senders could decide what
messages to delete, but they all suffer from the common flaw that from
the recipient's point of view they are being offered a message and
then when they try to read it it is being suddenly yanked away from
them. This will piss people off *bigtime*.
