The new library is significantly larger than the one it replaced, 332 KB 
versus 55KB.  I'm guessing it has things like debug symbols that get 
stripped when it's packaged.

I see no change in behavior even with that section of code removed.  I 
included some unique text in the body of the message I wrote and sent, 
and after sending I find both the copy in Drafts and the copy in Sent 
when I do a manual Solr query for that unique text.  I waited several 
minutes ... I didn't hit Send and then immediately do the query.

Manual expunges of existing messages also are not sending a delete 
request to Solr.  I waited several minutes for that too.

Thanks,
Shawn

Update on this, since you're all on the edge of your seat waiting. :)

I did a Send test with TypeApp, a mail client for Android.? It behaved 
completely as expected:? Dovecot immediately sent a delete request to 
Solr for the temporary message in Drafts.

So I went to Mozilla forums and started a discussion about what I am 
seeing with Thunderbird.

I did another test run with sending a message with unique text, and 
doing a manual Solr query for that unique text, I saw one result before 
sending and two results after sending.? Watching the Solr log, no delete 
request was sent.

Then something completely unexpected:? I needed to reboot the laptop, so 
I quit Thunderbird, and I hadn't yet closed my ssh session to the mail 
server, which was still tailing the solr log with a grep for delete 
messages.? As soon as I did the quit, Solr got a delete request for the 
Drafts message.? I did another test -- shift-delete a message, see that 
Solr did not see the delete request.? And then after I waited a while, I 
quit Thunderbird again.? Instantly got a delete request in Solr's log.

Definitely a Thunderbird problem, not dovecot.? Thanks for your 
patience, everyone.? I will pursue it with Mozilla now.

Thanks,
Shawn
