What I remembered being described was a command (of some sort) to send a
'quit' to the server *now*, where 'now' equals whatever message has been
reached. You've already sent the deletes as each message was
downloaded - the server just doesn't execute them until you log off
properly. (Please pardon inaccurate terminology.)
And from my scanty knowledge, when looking at the source it does appear
as if that is exactly what ought to be happening from the code as it
stands... unless the problem is that you simply can't quit in this
fashion in the middle of a message?
