What does redirect do?
A way to pass a parameter to extension-actions

This is probably true. The language design needs to be reworked to be more
sane. Just having an ad-hoc grammar will encourage a lot of bad extension
design. This is probably a specific case of general argument passing.
Some method where the extension action can reference the text of the message.
This would allow an extension action to file a message in a database for
example.
I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Are you looking for a way to deal with
the insides of a message?
I'd also like to see some discussion of rules on outgoing mail. We can do this
if rule processing is incorporated with the SMTP server. This would allow a
delayed mail feature. e.g.
if
header("x-delay-until")
then
delay_mail( header("x-delay-until"))
toss // the original message
I think this is out of scope of what I'd intended. I also belive delayed
mail is best done with a cron job. Can you be more specific?
