Impossible was a bit strong. But if for instance I hit space in a
inboxed mail in a thread with one mail, without taking too much time to
study it, then I will know that I forgot to process one mail without
knowing which one it is. I used to find such mails by searching for
mails without any tags, but this was cumbersome. My present patch is a
better attempt to fix this.

It is just a way to ensure that all your mails are properly filed, and
file them quickly.
