  OK, so it's been a while, but I finally got around to implementing
  the suggestions in your file.  Thanks for the ideas!  Now that
  unprocessed messages are going straight into +inbox, I had to tweak
  xfaces as follows included here for the benefit of others:

.Xdefaults:

XFaces.listCommand:		makefaces

makefaces:

#! /bin/sh

# $Id: makefaces,v 1.1 1998/05/06 07:24:59 wohler Exp $
#
# NAME
#   makefaces - input file for xfaces
#
# SYNOPSIS
#   XFaces.listCommand: makefaces
#
# DESCRIPTION
#   makefaces generates output that is used by xfaces to determine
#   which faces to display.  This particular version is tuned to MH
#   by using scan to display the unseen messages in +inbox.

# OPTIONS
