And it is this level of feeping creaturism that has kept me from proposing this 
before.

It has to be as simple and as stupid as "submit."  We can already do the rest 
using locally tailored scripts.

We need:

  mhqueue <msg>
  mhqueue -push
  mhqueue -list
  mhqueue -remove msg [...]

This all assumes a single submission point, just like we have now.

The first queues a message, then tries to run the queue. The second just tries 
to run the queue.  It really doesn't need to be any more complicated.
