But reading them back in would be a nightmare. The sad fact is that if
we were to write out procmail rules, we'd need to be able to parse
what's already there so we don't just blindly overwrite it with the
filters the user defined in Evolution.

I have a hard time just parsing my own imap server-side procmail rules,
let alone anything that might be super complex. It's just a complete
mess IMHO.
