Ok.  I think I understand why from the DELIVERY comments in Defaults.py.
It sounds like tmda-filter, when used with qmail, can't modify the
contents of the incoming email at all.

Part of my stepping up to doing this, is that it's a step in the
direction of making tmda-filter able to work like a procmail style filter.
I need the header in order for this to work.  The next step is to add a
"-p|--procmail" option to tmda-filter which would simply take msgin and
send it to stdout.

If I correctly understand the comments in Defaults.py this is going to
be of no usefulness to qmail users.  It looks like tmda already acts
like a very well behaved qmail filter/plugin/??.  For those of us who
don't use qmail, I'd like to see if I can get it to behave a little bit
more like the kind of filters I'm used to using in procmail.

Would it be better if I got the whole thing working and then resbumit the
patch?  Or is this functionality that you don't want to include in TMDA?

Cheers,
- Mark
