you can delete a message at the same time as inserting/updating it to
another:

  ifile -d <wrong-folder> -i <right-folder> <message-file>

in order to protect yourself against this, use:

  ifile -u <right-folder> <message-file>

which throws an error if used on a non-existing folder.

ALARM!!!  i just tried this, but there's something wrong:  i used:

  ifile -u scharboiz Readme.ngrep

ifile does /not/ return any error.  next test:

  ifile -v3 -u scharboiz Readme.ngrep
  --update
  ARGP_KEY_ARG
  ARGP_KEY_END
  ARGP_KEY_SUCCESS
  1 file(s) passed
  file #0: Readme.ngrep
  home directory = /root

jason, in my understanding the -u option should just throw an error
when the folder mentioned doesn't exist, but instead it goes through
the entire process, only leaving out the creation of a new folder!  i
think this is a serious bug.  i cannot even correct whatever damage
this iperation incurs:

  ifile -d scharboiz Readme.ngrep
  Folder "scharboiz" does not appear to exist

(btw, the file Readme.ngrep was just the first file in the particular
directory i was in, it has nothing to do with this.)

please, jason, make -u complain if the indicated folder doesn't exist!
