} it doesn't need a fork but there seems to be a bug somewhere because I
} get `zsh: unmatched "' errors. It's okay if I remove the :t:r modifiers
} though.

} And leaving just one of modifiers results in zsh: unknown file attribute.

It's a simple parsing issue.  The double-quotes aren't significant to the
glob parser, so the colons cause the parse tokens to be

    e
    REPLY=( "${REPLY}?You have new mail in ${REPLY
    t
    r}")

Try it this way:

mailpath=( ~/mail/*.spool(e['REPLY=( "${REPLY}?You have new mail in ${REPLY:t:r}")']) )

} And running this twice in 4.1.0-dev-6 (but not in 4.0.2) causes a seg fault:
}   echo *(e:'REPLY=( ${REPLY}?${REPLY} )':)
} 
} (I forgot to quote the ? when trying that)

It causes a seg fault immediately in 4.0.6, so it's something that changed
after 4.0.2.
