[gnu.emacs.bug] Deleting Mail Labels Feature Needed.

acy@UUNET.UU.NET (Adnan Yaqub) (10/12/88)

This is more a feature request than a bug report.

In GNU Emacs 18.52.1 of Tue Sep 13 1988 on calvin (berkeley-unix), the
only way I can find to delete a mail label from RMAIL's list of known
labels once there are no messages labeled with that label is to edit
the RMAIL file (i.e., emacs ~/RMAIL).  How am I supposed to remove
expired labels from RMAIL?

Type C-h M in RMAIL mode to get the mode-specific help description...

RMAIL Mode:
...
Instead, these commands are available:
...
k	Kill label.  Remove a label from current message.
