Yes, I do it all the time in MH. However you cant create the folder
from within MH .. the "mkdir" call inside refile fails, since it does not
recursively creat the path if more than one level is needed.
I do a "mkdir Mail/Info/topicx" to create a new folder for each topic,
and "refile Info/topicx" works after that.
