You can use the -m option to specify that the "spool file" is the
argument to that switch.
% mush -m +incoming/inbox

This should work.  I don't know why it doesn't.  It appears from
the ':' you're using that you are executing this from curses mode.
Does it act differently for line mode or command mode?  Actually,

other things at the moment and I can't fully test it out.
