Oops, my previous message missed the subtlety that you do have the
message at the point in time you're considering.  You still can't do
archiving with REST: REST is a "pull" interface, archiving is a "push"
operation.

Why would you want to access "messages scheduled for archiving" via
REST?  I have trouble imagining a use case.
