The original proposal by @tobiaseigen seems the most versatile.

Limits can be overcome by slicing the list and only keep the first ones mentioned.

There should be some agreement (aka specification) on ignoring subsequent uses of `^tags:` (i.e., preferring tags at the beginning of emails, and ignoring quotes, for those of us who prefer quoting above reply). But otherwise the proposal seems solid from where I sit.
