I'm sorry, but these are simply folder-level attributes crammed in at the
message level because that's the mechanism sieve provides. But calling them
message atributes doesn't change their nature.

I agree on the last one -- but message annotations can also be "this
message expires on date xyz" which is not necessaraly related to when the
next message in the mailbox expires.

Though I also agree that the sanest way to do this is just with a
folder-wide attribute in IMAP, and leave sieve out of it.
