Hmm, okay. What do you think about the following extension? Just
drafting for now. Seems like mbox and Maildir deviate on the status flag
naming, therefore I would probably add a readable set of filters.
Message selection
Messages can be filtered by their status flags, including or excluding
them from being considered for expiration. In case of conflicting choice, the
message will be kept.
--flags-in, -I
Consider only messages which flags are matched by the flags listed
in this option (comma-separated list). Possible flags are: Seen, Recent,
Answered, Flagged, Draft, Deleted. The meaning of Seen and Recent may vary
depending on the mail storage format and the client editing message
metadata. For Maildir, Recent typically means "still in New area" and Seen is
"MUA marked the message as actually read".
EXAMPLE: -I Deleted,Seen
--flags-not-in, -E
Exclude the matched messages from expiration. See -I option for
format description.
