Now I think it is even more important to not let the NFS move a parked
message, whether it is originally parked or parked by the filter
itself. If you want a moved message parked, move it first, then park
it.

I can well imagine the use for filters parking certain messages before
passing them on to other filters, mostly to stop a subsequent filter
from moving the message.

Can we agree that a filter should not be able to move a message which
has been parked earlier in _the same_ filtering session?

If so, it would be confusing if the same logic didn't apply to message
manipulation within _one filter_. If a message is parked, it shouldn't
be able to move, regardless of whether it was parked before processed
by the filter or by the filter itself.

If I want to move and park a message, I should be forced to move it
first and then park it. I see no downsides of such an implementation,
but letting filters move parked messages during some conditions but
not during other - well, that would be confusing.


I think MAU and Peter (and others) have done a terrific job analysing
the ups and downs of different implementation strategies, I don't have
much to add except the above.
