Actually I was mistaken; we used to do it this way, but now we use
dotfiles for all metadata.

You can do it however you like, but the method we support that is
closest to how you have been doing it is via the shell interface
(mj_shell) and the get-edit command, which will open an instance of
$EDITOR on the file with the metadata at the top.  So to edit the
"not_subscriber" file in the non-public portion of DEFAULT's file
space, I can do

get-edit DEFAULT /not_subscriber

and I get an editor open on:

put-data DEFAULT /not_subscriber text/plain us-ascii 7bit en Not subscriber <<ADGBEH
You do not seem to be a subscriber to $LIST,
but you have attempted to post a message to it
.....
ADGBEH

The help pages for "admin documents", "get" and "put" should provide
you with more info.
