Sounds like it maps well to IMAP's \Deleted which currently is simply ignored by Gnus. I wanted to map it to the expire mark too, but it seemed too risky. Perhaps nnmaildir can support it in the same way nnimap does -- when an article is deleted they are marked with \Deleted so they never show up in Gnus any longer. For IMAP, all \Deleted articles are removed when closing a group, but nnmaildir could simply leave it marked as T.
