1) Why the messageset parameter? Seems unnecessary to me (along with UID PIPELINE command).
Also it would be possible to avoid adding | to ATOM-SPECIALS by just using more parenthesis:
a PIPELINE (b COPY 1:100 elsewhere) (c STORE $ +FLAGS \Deleted) (d EXPUNGE)

This might conflict with SEARCHRES extension. Or maybe it could just "enhance" it.

That would be a good idea, yes.

A simple IF-OK would be much easier for everyone to initially implement than PIPELINE, but maybe PIPELINE wouldn't be too difficult either..
