+=head1 NAME
+
+lei-rm - unindex a message in lei/store
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+lei rm [OPTIONS] (-|--stdin)
+
+lei rm [OPTIONS] LOCATION
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+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 L<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.
