Let's say we have two clients.  Both SELECT the same mailbox.

Client 1 is sitting there inactive when client 2 does an APPEND to the
selected mailbox and a subsequent STORE +FLAGS \Deleted on the newly-appended
message.  Client 1 then does an EXPUNGE without having been alerted about the
new message.

Should the new message be silently expunged (with no untagged EXPUNGE) or
should it be skipped by the EXPUNGE?

That is up to the implementation.
