dbox is half-designed to support this. It supports arbitrary metadata (unlike maildir) and I've already written 3 lines of code to get this implemented ;)

There's no code to actually read/write such metadata though. Also I'm not exactly sure what the <ref> is. Maybe just a filename used to store the data.
LOL, so I'm not the only one who designs like that. I think of it like sculpting: Throw some clay on the table and then scrape away anything that's not part of my objective. It's the right-brain side of programming. (And the hardest part.)
