Yeah, that means well-defined (already existing) protocol for all prefs.

Personaly I use procmail on the server for real filtering, because
filtering with Evo would mean maintaining a duplicate set of filters (I
mainly access my home IMAP server from 2 computers). 
But I couldn't find a way of generating coloured mails from procmail,
this *has* to be done with Evo's filters. And coloured mail is like
syntax highlighting in text editors: once you're accustomed to it, it's
hard to live without.
