I'm advocating that *only* the "unread" tag ever be automatically
removed in the emacs UI when doing anything other than explicitly
removing tags (eg. like just opening a message for viewing, or browsing
through a thread, etc.).  All other tags should only ever be explicitly
modified by the user.

I don't have any problem keys being bound to specific tag modification
operations, though, like having the 'd' key add the "delete" tag to a
message or thread, or the 'a' key remove the "inbox" tag, etc.

If users want to have special tag manipulation procedures to match their
needs, then they can easily build the needed functions and bind them to
whichever keys they wish.

jamie.
