>> swipe-to-archive simply isn't there

>> Swiping the other direction exposes five options, two of which (I assume "archive" and "delete") have rather ambiguous icons

Hyperbole, much?

No. Swipe-to-archive means working the same way as it works in every single other iOS app that implements that functionality: left-to-right.

edit - To clarify: widely-adopted shortcuts are only effective when they work the same everywhere. Imagine if some applications mapped "paste" to ^P instead of ^V. It might as well not be there.
