Perhaps they will in one of the next versions of The Bat. I've never understood the "per account". Maybe it's useful for those who only have one or two email addresses strictly separated so that "business-related" and "private" only know one of them. In my case, I tend to filter on things other than which address the mail was actually sent to, usually "from" but sometimes "subject". That means almost every filter is _one_ "common filter", otherwise I have to copy and paste the same filter into every account. My immediate issue here is exceptional. I only used that address for LinkedIn groups and it bore absolutely no relation (apart from the domain) to any of my other email addresses. I thought I was safe with account-specific filters for this. Quite apart from LinkedIn ignoring whatever address you specify for the groups, the format of the messages changed as well so all the filter conditions were broken as well as not sending to the expected address. It's not only The Bat. I don't think any email client lets you edit filters using any text editor.
