The sieve-regex draft just documents a new MATCH-TYPE, so it works with
any test which takes a MATCH-TYPE as an argument (currently ADDRESS,
ENVELOPE, HEADER). AFAIK, nobody has written or documented a BODY test
for Sieve.

In regex, yes. The extension follows the POSIX spec with the exception
of disallowing backreferences (no variables currently allowed in
Sieve). If you're really interested, have a look at the draft:
