I like that ideal.  Arnt, I'll work on a Notify extension for that
with you, if you like.  Let me know.

For the more general question, Wolfgang and I had once started to
write up a "call out to an external process" extension, which would
basically allow a script to run any (approved) program on the message,
which could include an abuse scanner, an attachment filer, a printing
or faxing program, or anything else.  Our idea was that allowed
programs would have to be flagged, such as by storing them in a
particular place or putting their pathnames in certain metadata, to
prevent chaos.

But we never went anywhere with that, after the initial knocking about.
