It needs to be configurable:

	1) always expunge on group exit
	2) never expunge on group exit
	3) ask user whether to expunge on group exit

#2 requires a keyboard command to force an explicit expunge.

Well, maybe, but you aren't going to get the protocol changed at this point. 
Section 4 of RFC2180 has some detailed suggestions for handling EXPUNGE in the 
face of multi-access mailboxes.
