Have a look at the latest packet-smtp.c, it does state tracking. It keeps
per-packet state info as well as some initial per-session info.

There was a long discussion on per-session state being destroyed on a
rescan, so you might want to look at that too.

I hope to get to doing a developer's guide in the near future that would
look at this stuff.

Each message would have their own tree item, each searchable.
