OK. Is it there a project tracker where I can upload the patches to be 
used meanwhile by those interested?

Another question, does imapfilter have a local email headers parser or 
all search commands are sent to imap server? It happens that some search 
matches messages that have attached other emails and the matched header 
is inside the attached email.

Daniel
