1, 2, and 4 could be implemented by just adding a filter option to invoke another program and write the message to that external program's stdin. That program could then return 0 for FALSE or 1 for TRUE as to whether the filter matches. This filter option hasn't yet been implemented, but it's something in my list of things to do. I think this would be a much better way of solving those issues than scripting. I'm not sure what 3 means... the development version can invoke scripts for generating a signature. Maybe that's what you want? I'm not really sure... For 5, what kinds of things do you have in mind?
