I think a cool way to implement that would be to allow the user to run an arbitrary command as a filter action. Then I could do stuff like:
- Play a sound when new mail arrives - Play a sound when mail matches a certain filter (to avoid noise from mailing list messages and spam) - Play different sounds for different messages - Notify an applet when mail matches a filter. - Save a message to a folder, then run an application using that folder as data (to generate automated replies, etc). - Handle tons of other obscure features that only one in a thousand people will ask for. If you find that lots of people use the same application, like playing a sound, then it could be added to the program as a standard action. How does this sound? Could it be secure if not abused?
