It would be nice if rmf could use a recursive (?) procedure as well
when removing folders.

Currently (MH6.7.0) rmf does not work if it has subfolders:

	moria-16: folder +main/sub1/sub2
	Create folder "/homes/osl1/ziegast/Mail/main/sub1/sub2"? y
        	main/sub1/sub2+ has   no messages.
	moria-17: rmf +main
	rmf: file "main/sub1" not deleted, continuing...
	rmf: folder +main not removed

It would be nice if instead there were a -[no]recurse switch or a prompt
which would allow rmf to remove subdirectories recursively (like rm -r).

Just adding to a mh-6.7.X (eeek!) wishlist ...
