	//   * io_entry - The entry for the PositionIO above.
	//   * io_headers - a list of attributes that will be added
	//       to the message file.
	//   * io_folder - The message's "folder"---may be com-

	//       Protocol

	// At most one Filter::ProcessMailMessage() for a given

// guaranteed to remain valid as long as this view exists. As it is
// a pointer to the chain's metadata, your view can save any
// chain-global settings to it in its Archive() function. Note that
// you must cache this pointer yourself! You will never get it again.

// standard Filters:
//
// * Parser - does ParseRFC2822(io_message,io_headers)
// * Folder - stores the message in the specified folder,
//     optionally under io_folder, returns MD_HANDLED
// * HeaderFilter(regex,Yes_fiters,No_filters) -
//     Applies Nes_filters to messages that have a header
//     matching regex; applies No_filters otherwise.
// * CompatabilityFilter - Invokes the standard mail_dae-
//     mon filter ~/config/settings/add-ons/MailDaemon/Filter
//     on the message's Entry.
// * Producer - Reads outbound messages from disk and inserts
//     them into the queue.
// * SMTPSender - Sends the message, via the specified
//     SMTP server, to the people in header field
//    "MAIL:recipients", changes the the Entry's
//    "MAIL:flags" field to no longer pending, changes the
//    "MAIL:status" header field to "Sent", and adds a header
//     field "MAIL:when" with the time it was sent.
// * Dumper - returns MD_DISCARD
//
//
// Standard chain types:
//
//   Incoming Mail: Protocol - Parser - Notifier - Folder
//   Outgoing Mail: Producer - SMTPSender
//
// "chains" are lists of addons that appear in, or can be
// added to, the "Accounts" list in the config panel, a tree-
// view ordered by the chain type and the chain's AccountName().
// Their config views should be shown, one after the other,
// in the config panel.
