Description Federico Bruni 2017-08-02 15:42:01 UTC 
While cleaning old emails (searching messages from a mailing list), I've realized that I still have a copy of my replies to conversation I had deleted. In fact those conversations list only my replies, all the other participants' emails are not present.

I would expect Geary to delete all the messages in a conversation, including my sent messages.
When I see a conversation, I see also my messages (which is good). If I choose to delete it, I'm aware that this will delete also my sent messages in that conversation.

I think this is actually by design, although I think it should probably change. I've been thinking about refining this over on the wiki and in Bug 789078, so going mark this as a dupe of that.
