Evo can actually do this, but the ui wont let you. Not sure how we could make it do it either, without the awful outlook filter editor with a million popups. > * Groupwise, Sieve, and procmail support arbitrary combinations of > criteria > * (Evo can also support arbitrary combinations if you enter an > s-expression directly.

It would be handy, and it's often been asked for. Some sort of nested tree-ish display I guess. Perhaps a 'and' and 'or' 'rule part type' which then has a sub-list of rules inside it ... > * Body > * Sieve does not support body searches natively. (There is > a proposed extension.) What were they thinking ... perfect candidate for an extension. Actually mainly i'm curious as to how exchange defines its rules - are they somewhat sieve (and for that matter, imap-search) like, in that you have a bunch of specific tests/checks with and/or/not boolean containers, or are they a bit camel-like in that you can do almost-arbitrary expression on almost-arbitrary values.
