Conflicts could be easily avoided by recommending a prefix like

I'm writing a MUA, and am using properties to store an excerpt of each 
message, so the MUA can show a preview of each message (like the Gmail 
web app, or Apple mail client).

Some pleople recently suggested sync info or other MUA metadata:

I took the documentation from notmuch.h but only edited to be consistent
