I think it might be nicer to mimic the syntax of the #forw directive
here, i.e. be able to say
X-MH-Forward: +inbox 10 15 21
There are a couple of reasons for this. Firstly, it allows for grouping
of forwarded message into digests, which is exactly what the #forw
directive allows. Secondly, it might be nice to permit the full power
of message ranges and sequences to be used.
As far as I can tell it does not make the implementation any more difficult,
since mhbuild still does all the work. I also think it is not any more
difficult to read, so it satisfies the aim of keeping these headers
intelligible. I think it's a little easier to read, in fact.
Cheers,
