Nice feature! I won't be using it myself, but I can imagine it being
*very* useful for those who still feel the need to "delete" email :).
Nitpicking:
- All other config-related functions and args include the section title
in their name [1], so for the sake of consistency, we might want to
mirror that. Also, the "auto"matic part is pretty much a given.
So I'd like to suggest replacing all occurences of "auto_exclude_tags"
with "search_exclude_tags" (and simply "exclude_tags" in the args to
`_config_get_list' and `_config_set_list', of course).
Unfortunately, this would also partially invalidate your recent NEWS
submission [2].
- If the 'search.exclude_tags' option is missing from the config file,
its value is automatically set to "deleted;spam;", which probably isn't
a sane default. Luckily, you've already provided the solution [3].
- To make new users aware of the config option's existence, we should
prompt them to configure it during setup.
Patches follow.
Peace
