I think that is a good idea.

I'm new here too, so please be gentle as I learn how things work....

I see you don't handle the "N" -- is that deliberate? Also, a minor addition
may to also allow for '!' instead of ':' as a separator, as that's the
semi-official way to use Maildirs on (V)FAT filesystems (which don't allow for
colons in filenames).
Best wishes,
Dirk.
