lei rm [Options] (-|--stdin)

lei rm [Options] LOCATION

Removes message(s) and associated private metadata from lei/store indices.  It does not affect messages stored in externals, so it's still possible to get "removed" messages from externals in lei-q search results.

This does not remove the message from underlying git storage nor does it remove messages from Maildir/mbox/IMAP/etc. sources.
