I usually have my mailboxes sorted in reverse of received date (latest first).
For some mailboxes, I'd like to have them sorted in another order.  Any way
to do this automatically in Elm 2.3 without going to the "options" menu?

A method of doing this for select mail folders would be to begin the folder
with a pseudo-message that has an X- line with the sorting preference stated.
This message should be a perfectly legal message, but has a line that Elm
recognizes, just like the "Urgent" and "Expires" lines.

Waddya think?
