Sure. Are those same people the same ones who are also asking for
filtering into different folders, and who cannot run procmail on
their server?

If so, then perhaps the functionality they want could be achieved by
using fetchmail on their client piping into a procmail that's then
piping into an imap-writing utility. Of course that (disgusting)
data flow will (a) double-tap their modem line, and (b) leave
messages flowing in such a twisted fashion as to confuse some
mailbox-interacting program somewhere.

But this isn't a limitation of the implementation, it's a limit of
the goal specified. Better not to go there.
