OK, so it's been a while, but I finally got around to implementing
the suggestions in your file. Thanks for the ideas! Now that
unprocessed messages are going straight into +inbox, I had to tweak
xfaces as follows included here for the benefit of others:
.Xdefaults:
XFaces.listCommand: makefaces
makefaces:

# NAME
# makefaces - input file for xfaces
#
# SYNOPSIS
# XFaces.listCommand: makefaces
#
# DESCRIPTION
# makefaces generates output that is used by xfaces to determine
# which faces to display. This particular version is tuned to MH
# by using scan to display the unseen messages in +inbox.
