Bug#325054: imapfilter: ability to use LuaCheia modules

[Dale Harris]

Package: imapfilter
Version: 1:1.0.1-2
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if we could use the LuaCheia extentions with
imapfilter.

If for no other reason to have full POSIX regular expressions. That'd
be extremely useful functionality for imapfilter.

The luacheia project seems to be abandoned...

One can always load lua modules from inside imapfilter's configuration
file, but unfortunately lua modules aren't still packaged in
distributions, and this surely makes the whole thing inconvenient...
Hopefully, now with Lua 5.1 that modules are standarized, there will be
some progress in this direction...

Also, I have already been looking into adding regular expressions
support in a form of a simple auxiliary function... It may be there in
the next release...
