I seem to remember an identical question a few weeks ago. Someone tried to 
write a plugin that alters the message. Timo answered that question with: 
NO, it is not possible with the current plugin code.

But try to find thread to get the correct info.

However, I find the idea "wrong". I mean, you want to alter the message 
each time when it is retrieved by the user. It seems to be a time slot, 
when any delay might cause lots of support calls. I would favour Robert's 
approach and alter the message when it comes in either through the MTA or 
before you pass it to the LDA with a wrapper script.
