two small remarks:
1. s/tag-prefix/tag-prefix-cond/ will make the macro not fail when
there are no tagged messages. yes, in this case it probably won't
make much of a difference since you probably won't call the macro
unless you *see* there are some new messages.
2. IIRC, I once discussed with Myon on irc that in this case ~T
makes a better <untag-pattern> that ~A. we were surprised but the
time needed to perform the untaggin was significantly smaller for ~T.
just my 2¢.
