Looks good. I guess it would sort-of make sense to pick up the flags
that are traditionally written into Status:, eg "OR" and assign them
specific meanings.

Another thing that'd be nice is rules on what other directories are
allowed in there.

Hi Dan,

The "2," entry is perfect, thanks!

Just one small thing: it would be useful to have the "D" flag, so multiple
instances of a mailreader/IMAP server could communicate to each other the
fact that a message has been flagged for deletion. It's not really super
important, though.
