Original author: Jim Nelson
Original description:

It's worth exploring a way for users to extend Geary's functionality with
plug-ins. One point to consider is that there may be two families of plug-ins,
one for the engine, the other for the client.

Mentioning plugin so searches for plugins without the hyphen also work.

Also noting that this isn't a very high development priority at the moment, but if someone wants to step up an implement this I'd be happy to mentor/review/etc.

Something that uses libpeas (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Libpeas) and works like EOG's plugin system would be great: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/EyeOfGnome/Pluginse

I just wrote up a tracking bug for the plugin system over at gitlab that collects all of the requirements for feature requests that should be implemented as plugins in the one place, so closing this bug in favour of that ticket: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/155
