Allow sieve to access body content by running client side
Sieve is great, but the proton mail implementation is severely limited by the inability to search message content, such as body. This is of course by design, sieve is running on the encrypted emails, so it cannot read the body content, however, it would be nice to do this sometimes. In a similar vein to the local side body search implemented by proton, I propose a client side sieve implementation, that can run in desktop proton to do filtering on unencrypted message content.

Support told me that filtering by email body can’t be done on the server because the message body is encrypted. I understand that.
However, in the desktop app I can already search inside the email body by enabling the checkbox — which means the content is decrypted locally anyway.
Could you add the ability to apply filters locally in the desktop app, for cases that can’t be processed on the server? These filters could run on the client side, after decryption. My desktop client is running all the time, so this would solve the problem completely.
Please don’t suggest using Bridge or third-party mail clients. If I wanted third-party clients, I wouldn’t have moved to Proton in the first place. I want this to work inside the official desktop app.
