Add:

  Ability to unroll quoted printable.

  Ability to unroll base64 encoded plain text.

  Ability to strip blocks from message parts that match stated
  patterns (eg Yahoo/MSN/Hotmail ads, corporate CYA statements,
  etc).

  Ability to filter on line length (eg hold for moderation or
  auto-discard/reject).
