Hi Paul,

i think anno is wrong-headed, and inconsistent with the rest of the MH
philosophy. i believe that once a message has been stored it should
never be modified.

I've wavered back and forth on this over the decades.  :-)

it's not as if other Maildir-reading mail systems (whether imap
servers or other user agents) will understand anno(1)'s annotations
anyway. thus if only MH can see them, we won't mind.

anno can add normal mail headers, e.g. Subject.

I use variations on

    anno -component x-inputplus-tag -text "$t" -nodate -inplace "$@"

to compensate for the limit of 32 sequences per folder with no
cross-folder sequences.

Cheers, Ralph.
