this facility would need to be added to upas/fs - that would probably
be the main difficulty. of course, you'd have to change the mailbox
interface too, and work out where you were going to store the extra
data, and make sure that it couldn't become inconsistent. and given
that upas/fs can look at different kinds of mailbox, it might not be
possible for some mailbox kinds (e.g. pop3).
basically it's not trivial, which is probably why no-one has put in
the necessary comprehension and implementation effort, given that most
people have higher priority items on their lists...
