Personally I think this is an amazingly awesome idea as right now I have
a mess of folder-hooks, send hooks and macros to do things like this.
For example, any time I reply to a specific list I change my
X-Organization; but more to the point I also want to change it when I am
responding to somebody OFF the list (when emails go private to stay off
the list).  This kind of script would allow me to do it (once you write
it I am sure, as I don't code:))

As with anything else.

I think it's a good idea; hell I see the future of a program like a
procmail in a way that reads a recipe file :)
