Don, is the index format flexible enough (or can it be made so) to act 
as a "changed header cache" for mbox? I'm thinking about both status 
updates (X-Stataus/Status) and things like the above ("X-KMail-*" 
headers...). If such a header is written to a message in mbox format, 
then the change is cached in the corrsponding index file until the next 
compaction incorporates these changes into the mbox file. Thus, we 
could tell people that once a folder is compacted, it will maintain the 
status of the messages at that checkpoint even if the index files get 
corrupted.
