Probably nothing as flexible as you would need. The API is basically 
what is possible using the extended `mailto` URL scheme. I guess if I 
added some way to run commands like those in the command bundles then 
you would be able to do a lot of things, but I haven't given that much 
thought yet.

You can read those files (never change/delete/move), but that probably 
does not get you very far. AppleScript support is very limited 
(basically just standard things and the `mailto` URL scheme).
