We can make it so message IDs with extra data, e.g. spam
registration/unregistration or labels, are always preserved.  It could
even be a multiple checkbox choice, so you can keep labels but not
spam reg/unreg info if you wanted.

Adding this is pretty easy, and I just did it for extra data named
'label.  If such extra data exists, the information is not deleted.

On the other hand, if people want to trim the registry by age, that's
a different function, but it's still doable.  Let's see first if
there's interest in storing labels in the registry :)
