What I myself actually do is use a couple of temporary variables.

	set -A _foo ~/Mail/Lists/*~*.lock(.) # not D -- don't check .meta etc
	set -A _bar ~/Maildir/.*(/)
	mailpath=( ${MAIL}
                ~/Maildir?"New mail in ~/Maildir"
		"${^_bar[@]//(#m).*/$MATCH?New mail in $MATCH}"
		"${^_foo[@]//(#m)*/$MATCH?You have new mail in ${MATCH:t}}" )
	unset _foo _bar
