I am in favour of keeping both syntaxes, because Ken showed usability of glabal
variable use.

Ooh, I kind of like this!  So the flags specified with :flags would be
the only ones set for that message (as opposed to the union of :flags
and the globals), correct?  What if we have some global flags set, but
want to fileinto/keep WITHOUT any flags?  Would we do this with
something like:

keep :flags [];               or
keep :flags "";               or
keep :flags "None";

We could opt for an IMAP like syntax here:

keep :flags+ [...]  - stored flags are global flags with additional flags

keep :flags- [...]  - stored flags are global flags with some removed

keep :flags [...]   - stored flags are only those listed - global flags are
ignored

Sometimes you want to use only global flags, so I would rather the following:

keep :globalflags+ [...]  - stored flags are global flags with additional flags

keep :globalflags- [...]  - stored flags are global flags with some removed

keep :globalflags   - use only global flags

keep :flags [...]   - stored flags are only those listed - global flags are
ignored
