I've got another wanna.
When you exit the system mailbox, aka !, elm offers to save all the
read mail in the > folder. Well, I don't WANT it there, for the most
part. I want macy's mail to go to =macy, slr's to go to =slr, etc. Only
that stuff with NO corresponding folder goes to >.

S ave is smart enough to do this one at a time. Let's get 'c'
and 'q' to do it, too.

Of course, an automatic method of matching incoming receipts to
outgoing mail would be great, too. But that's been discussed before.
