When I was adding the mark capability, the pipe command didn't
seem a good choice.  You generally want to check the output of a
command before continuing, so running a whole bunch of messages
at once seemed wrong.

Not a bad idea.  Implementing it is going to be tricky to do
without duplicating the messages in memory.  I can't just use
shell-command-on-region in the folder buffer because marked
messages may not be contiguous.  Anyone have a serious aversion
to a temp file?  It's ugly, but it could be the difference
between crashes Emacs now and crashing Emacs later for those of
us who have all day to all week Emacs sessions.
