I should simply stop indicating that anything is ever going to be 
implemented :-)

I think you might have answered this question yourself. Create a draft 
in an otherwise empty IMAP mailbox, put the email addresses in the body 
of the messages, and then create a check using a condition like:

	#recipient.address ~ $UUID.#unquoted

(Use the UUID of the IMAP mailbox. Put it on the pasteboard using ⌘C 
after selecting the mailbox.)

But I don't know if that really works. It tests a comparison method 
which is not available using the GUI and it has undergone little 
testing.
