Good to confirm... I checked "confirm" add-on at the Smartlist FAQ but it does not load to my browser. So I came up a simple 'rc.local.r10' to do the verifications, attached beblow.

I tried some simple tests and it worked for me. May need more tests to improve.

Zhiliang ps: when I copied to the mail window there are some added line breaks. I hope one can restore these breaks for tests..
