How about sub-folders?  These are folders with slashes in the names, like:
	+reports/january
	+reports/february
Just as UNIX has directories and subdirectories, folders can have
subfolders (and sub-subfolders, and...).

BTW, my favorite under-used MH operator is "@", the relative folder
operator.  For example, if your current folder is "proj/reports/january"
and you want to move message number 3 to the folder "proj/reports/march",
you can use either of these commands:
	refile 3 +proj/reports/march
	refile 3 @../march
In fact, the "@" operator works just about anyplace you can use "+".
