This is a nice improvement. I realize we neglected to document the
original "tmp" skipping. This should definitely be safer, (though we
should document this as well).

And this maildir detection will also be useful for the outstanding patch
to add tags based on flags in maildir filenames.

I pushed the patch and then made two, minor whitespace fixes:

The function name in the definition here belongs on its own line.

Having the action of the "if" statement on the same line as the "if"
itself hides it too much. That also belongs on the next line.
