What I'd do: copy

/usr/share/lire/templates/email_default.xml to ~/.lire/templates/email.xml .

Add a new

  <param name="section">
   ...
  </param>

stanza.  It could look like this:

  <param name="section">
    <param name="specs">
      <param name="email:tracked-recipients">
        <param name="tracked_email_re">joe.*</param>
      </param>
      <param name="email:tracked-senders">
        <param name="tracked_email_re">ann.*</param>
      </param>
    </param>
    <param name="title">Tracked Users</param>
    <param name="superservice">email</param>
  </param>

I don't think there's an interface in the lire(1) tool to make this more
userfriendly...

Bye,

Joost
