This is useful when scripts need more than just the basic email headers to
parse.  By specifying the "-x=" option, one can search and output any header
field they want.
It probably is useful, but that is rather difficult to judge,
unless you have a specific use in the scripts (am/applymox).
I have my own custom clone of git-am I am using to extract the
Message-id, In-Reply-To, and References fields.  For awhile I had the
fields hardcoded in my version of git-mailinfo.  But instead of
maintaining it, I was hoping I could push it upstream.  One less thing
to maintain on my own.  :-)
Fair enough.
oops.  left over comment from old code.  I'll clean that up.
I've applied 1, 3, 4 and 5 for now, but have't pushed the
results out (I have other patches to tend first).
