Ok, I don't know much about the semantics of said feature because I only
once tried a recent CVS version very short a while ago.

Maybe you could have a look at The Gimp, which does it in some way that
seems easily extensible with respect to language bindings. Probably
something to do with their procedure database, but I'm not sure. Might
well be overkill for the more simple tasks of mail management (well, I
think its more simple than image manipulation anyway).
But I can see that you wouldn't want to add some perl things -- most
users would probably never use that "baggage".
