While I see the point you're trying to make, I don't think it is valid.  
On our servers the deleted message could exist in filesystem snapshots, 
disk->disk backups and on tape.  In many other places this may be a 
question of regulatory requirements that email be held on to for years 
no matter what the client thinks its status is.
