Is
maildir_tag = ,S=$message_size
not enough? For maildir++ qouta it's good i think.
Dovecot calculate the size of W= on its own if it doesn't exist. This is
useful for pop3 in my humble opinion.
With use_crlf "S=" and "W=" are the same. Then you can use:
maildir_tag = ,S=$message_size,W=$message_size
Why do you use a "2" at the beginning of you maildir_tag?

Do it ;-)
I think using of use_crlf is really bad in bigger installations. Use to
much harddisk space.
