sorry about that. (i was the maintainer in the years up until mark's 
death.) the ruinously bad property of uw-imap's MH implementation, which 
i could not fix due to an impedance mismatch between the protocol and 
the MH message number definition, is that whenever you refile a message, 
both folders have to be fully rescanned.

does. ouch.
