In my case, most work messages are encrypted, so From: and Subject: are not sufficient to retrieve messages. > I wonder whether this could be implemented by adding to mairix the > ability to index a single message on stdin (with the path to associate > with it as a command line argument.)

For my usage, I could imagine a script that looks for new messages (using find(1)), decrypts them if necessary, and feeds them to mairix. This approach would have the advantage over my suggestion that mairix wouldn't need to call external programs and it wouldn't require additions to the configuration file syntax.
