Email started on UNIX, so obviously these days there is alot of code available for processing/filtering/etc... email. I'd like to be able to use some of this stuff with evolution. Take SpamAssassin for instance. I'd like to write a perl script that uses the ::SpamAssassin module and have it exit with a 1 or 0 depending on if the message is spam or not, evolution could then file the message or delete it.
That is a simple example of a rule that uses the output of a shell command to determine whether a given email filter/rule is true or not. I could also imagine a more complex interaction allowing more fine grained 'procmail' like features. But if I just had the ability to create a filtering rule in evolution that took the output of a shell command to determine whether the rule was true or not, I think it would greatly extend the usefulness of evolution without requiring people like me to use a combination of fetchmail and procmail to filter our email before delivering it to Evo (which is the point of having a powerful pop3/ldap MUA anyway... right?)
