Groups are actually not deleted but hidden.
Adding a group with the same name than an previously existing group that has been hidden, all the previous messages will be bound to the "new" group.
This is a problem because after some time having deleted/hidden a group, you want to create it again, having forgotten that there was previously a group of the same name. You may assign to this group another user set than the one that was used for the initial group. This new user set will see all the previous messages...
When deleting/hiding a group, a message should ask explicitly if you want to delete, hide the group... or keep it empty! Yeah, actually you may want to access the previous messages even if there are no more users assigned to it.
When creating a new group, if an previously existing group of the same name is found, the user should be asked if he wants to keep the previous data or ignore them (they would be deleted then, or maybe the previous group can be renamed?).
Regarding that:

I would add a menu item for adding/modifying/deleting (or just hiding?) group... it also make sense to create an empty group, if you want to prepare some data before sharing it... or even just to store your private data into SàT! When SàT manage message formatting this would be a good alternative to Google Document.
