[MlMt] Unique submailboxes based on regular expression

[Florian Heidenreich]

Thanks, editing the *.plist file worked without problems for me :)

I’m aware of ${subject.blob}, but I had subject lines like

„[General Name] [Category] Topic“

and was interested in creating submailboxes for „Category“. I ended 
up using

```
{
   parsers = {
     discourse-categories = {
       header = "subject";
       specifierRegex = '\[(.*?)\] \[(.*?)\] (.*)';
             specifierCaptures = {
                 1 = { specifier = "discourse-name"; };
                 2 = { specifier = "discourse-category"; };
                 3 = { specifier = "discourse-subject"; };
             };
         };
     };
}
```

Kind regards
