+/// A FRESH name, never a reuse. mbsync writes a `,U=<n>` infix that is
+/// meaningful only within one folder, and carrying it across a folder
+/// boundary produced "Maildir error: duplicate UID" on real mail. Only the
+/// `:2,` flag suffix is carried, because the flags describe the message
+/// rather than its position.

+/// Pass an empty string for a message that has no previous name, which is
+/// what a newly composed draft is.
