MS Outlook already does this. One can set flags and add all kinds of
Outlook-specific options to a message in an IMAP mailbox; Outlook
marks the original message for deletion and adds a new, augmented
message in its place. This duplicate-delete approach confused me at
first, but it's better than forcing the messages to be logically
immutable.
