Absolutely NOT.

You've already been told that the item you want is available in filter_begin() and that all 4 filter*() functions are called in the same context and can pass variables to each other.  If you need it, YOU save the value in your local filter processing script.

All MimeDefang does is provide a MINIMAL framework.  It's up to you to use it.  Don't expect the rest of us to accept your pollution of minimality.
