+To avoid breaking the current behavior, what if the set of tags applied to \r
+new/moved/deleted(?) messages could be set on the command line or some \r
+other library interface, while just perhaps defaulting to unread/inbox? \r
+This would support both the current behavior and a hooks-like workflow \r
