As well as a MH mailbox filter, a Sylpheed mail backend for beagle ideally 
needs to be written.

Does sylpheed support opening mails by filename or URI? For example, in 
evolution every mail has its own unique URI, e.g. 
"email://1124556450 26203 16 dsd/Lists/dashboard-hackers;uid=20"

If sylpheed supports opening a specific mail by a unique identifier over some 
mechanism then this could happen.
