Could an optional level of indirection help;  mail/inbox/42 having
content that states it's not the email, but here's details that allow
the email to be found in a Maildir, including a fast method, and a
slower one for if things have got out of sync.

It would mean nmh commands that don't peek inside 42 don't care, e.g.
`folder -pack'.
