Package: archivemail
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: wishlist
The archivemail package's description doesn't tell that the tool is also
capable of just deleting old mail. I was looking for such a deleting
tool and couldn't find archivemail with just 'apt-cache search'.
Suggested changes to the debian/control file are in the attached patch.
