Since this is turning into a "what cool features do you wish Gnus had so
you could love it better" thread, I'd like a way to set up an arbitrary
handling mechanism for incoming mail. So I set some regexps on headers,
and incoming mail that matches gets fed to a function I wrote. Then I
can automatically make org captures out of incoming mail! With a running
computer and gnus agent, I can remotely wipe my hard drive simply by
emailing myself! And what young boy wouldn't like to be able to do that.

Now is when someone tells me that gnus has had this feature since 1997.

Ta,
E
