I just hate using filters. Slows down mail download too much, and filters are
too complicated to configure, when I don't need them with my low volume of
mail. Hand filtering takes only a couple of minutes in YAM, and allows me to
make the choice of what goes where, not the machine. It's virtually
impossible in Microdot.

I've already done this, but you can only see these after opening the message,
I want to see it before opening them, like in the mail list manager, and I
want to be able to sort by them as I can in YAM. Preference I suppose.
Amyway, I'll stay with YAM until these are done, except for news, of course.
YAMtoNN is a farce. Give me a real newsreader any day.
