MimeDel isn't very chatty about what it's doing, other than by
sticking a header in telling you it /did/ change the message.

Anything's possible <wink>, but MimeDel isn't easily modular this
way.  It wouldn't be a bad idea to add something like this for a
future version.

Chuq's posted some recommendations recently.
