+\r
+My opinion on this has changed over time, but I don't think we should\r
+try to interpret Maildir++ trees specially. That is, the user would\r
+have to say folder:.foo.bar if they're using Maildir++. The "." seems\r
+as good as a "/" for a separator, so we might as well not translate\r
+it. The leading "." is annoying, but *shrug* so is Maildir++.\r
+\r

+\r
+The simple algorithm of taking the relative path and stripping\r
+{new,cur} (if present) does a good job of supporting both Maildir and\r
+non-Maildir stores (while balancing this support with simplicity,\r
+predictability, and usability).\r
+\r

+\r
+The simple {new,cur}-stripping algorithm already does fairly well at\r
+this. Worrying more about mixed Maildir++ and MH stores seems\r
+unnecessary to me unless someone demonstrates and actual need.\r

+\r
+Ah, sure enough. Even better!\r
