It makes sense, but surely some mailers out there already support a similar
POP3 syntax. It would be good to maintain some compatibility with
existing practise (assuming there is some) given that there doesn't seem
to be an official POP-3 URL syntax for such commands. Have you researched
to see if other mailers do that? mutt, for example, allows pop3 URL
syntax only to access a mailbox and not to manipulate messages so the path
part of the URL is ignored, so unfortunately there's no precedence there.
