Yup. One problem is that `deliver' is setuid mailadm though.

OTOH I'm going to clean up (and optimize) the splitting stuff soon and
unless there are some complexity I don't see now involved I'll add
your patch to it.

I would look into if it was possible to do what you want using the
Sieve language, article splitting is better of in the server anyway. I
haven't looked much on the non-language aspects of Sieve so I'm not
sure how simple it would be to add the database needed to remember
message-id's.
