Can the number of Header names provided by `Filter articles' be
expanded? 

It doesn't seem to provide a way to select the `To:' field or provide
a "component" field that would allow the entry of a user defined field
such as `Resent-Sender:'. These fields are useful for searching for
digests.

The ability to search for a `Cc:' field and to do "Before" and "After"
date searches would also be nice.

If you mean the limiting stuff (Misc->Mark->Limit, or the "/" keymap)
the answer is that it's difficult to add more headers because these
headers are in the overview files and can thus be processed
efficiently.  For all other headers, one would have to search the
articles themselves which is expected to be slow.
