This is a good idea. However, in a thread on the mailtags mailing
list, the Mail.app MailTags author raised some concerns with using
IMAP keywords for mail tags [0], which need to be
addressed/discussed first. Basically, using an RFC821 header to
store tags in the message is a considerable contender with a major
performance downside, but it would solve the challenge of storing
tags locally in a way that *all* mail clients could use.
