Generally, local variables are preferred in this kind of usage to avoid
unintentional side-effects:

    (let (mh-sortm-args (cond ((= 1 arg)
                               '(-textfield subject -limit 0))
                              ((= 2 arg)
                               '(-textfield from -limit 0))))
      (mh-sort-folder 4))
