Thanks for working on this -- I've started on a similar tool in the
past, but got distracted and never completed it. In my implementation,
it was piping messages to procmail, which allowed writing complex rules
for folders/pre-processing, etc. May I suggest that your tool also
offers a stdout that can be piped to procmail?
