I've thought about it. I have been considering what the best approach
will be. Maybe something like:
<MsgExcludeFilter>
/^Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA/m;
</MsgExcludeFilter>
Basically, the resource allows you to use Perl code to determine if a
message should be skipped. $_ will contain the raw message header. If
MSGEXCLUDEFILTER evaulates to a true value, the message will be
excluded.
