#3: We need to add some way to look at parameter lists:

Agreed, but mostly because of RFC 2231.

It also avoids problems with comments and quoting (dang structured fields!).

but I do want to see some way to do address and exists tests on inner
headers. This is actually quite a bit more important than a parameter
test IMO.

Do you mean "the MIME header of inner parts" or do you mean "the
headers of nested message/rfc822 parts"?   If both, how should they
be differentiated?

AFAIK we have not defined a field that involves an address for a MIME
part. So unless you want to avoid false matches on bogons in MIME parts,
I don't think this makes a difference.

In any case, you probably could rig up something to only test message/rfc822
parts using variables, assuming the traversal is top-down.

Chris Newman also suggests renaming this as foreach, in order to make it
clearer we're still not Turing-complete.
