Yeah, but unseen is a special case - IMAP has the concept of unseen messages
too, so you'd want to implement that, rather than making your unseen messages
appear to be a sub-folder.

: 
:       #!/bin/sh
:       pick -seq picked ${1+"$@"} && scan picked

: then if I'm not interested in them, I can 'rmm' them all at once or
: 'refile' them or whatever by sequence name.

Uh huh, me too ... but you could still do that - I'm just saying that an
IMAP imeplementation could ignore sequences except for "unseen".
