This requires a completely different system from triggers. To avoid keeping two ways of doing it, triggers will be deprecated as soon as the message-received hook has been implemented.

There are no arguments for actually "replacing" triggers with hooks. Simply adding more triggers would be less disruptive as you will not need to deprecate anything. The current only new-email trigger can remain and you can add all these new ones. The triggers already allow running shell commands.
