It would be really nice, for me at least, if a there was a filter condition to trigger an external program. That is, the filter would launch the external program with the email as its stdin.
Happy to dicuss use-case.

I do agree this would also be a nice feature to have. As I know I am wanting to pipe a copy of my emails through terminal, to do some special things. Like one thing this would also me to do, is get a more custom notice when some important email comes. Right now, the only other way I can think of how to do it brtue force way without tearing about thunderbird, is to make another movemail account; have the mail either move/copy over to that account; and check outside of thunderbird though a possible script that checks the mbox in linux, and goes that way. Though youd need to know a good amount of mbox (I think that's right) formatting, to go through each individual message.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but this extension I ran across is close:
<a href="http://www.supportware.net/mozilla/#ext13">Thunderbird AutoSave</a>
This extension can be used to trigger events external to TB ( with a suitable application periodically scanning the save to folder for changes)
