That sounds like the right way to handle this.

I tested with Courier, and it adds the size ("S=") to the file name when
moving mail from folder to folder, and from one IMAP account to another. 
But Courier does not add the size to the file name when it does a stat()
on an existing file that does not already have it in the name.
