And remember there are variants on the "store" action, like this:

#    store                   - store the message in the (spam) quarantine
#    store-nonmcp            - store the message in the non-MCP quarantine
#    store-mcp               - store the message in the MCP quarantine
#    store-nonspam           - store the message in the non-spam quarantine
#    store-spam              - store the message in the spam quarantine
#    store-<directory-path>  - store the message in the <directory-path>
