Do you say 'IBM-compatible PC' or just 'PC'???
It is a common name for all of these things you can do.

I completely agree on that.

Well it isn't written anywhere, but everything and everyone uses the name
'filter'. All
webmail I have seen, all other email-clients, and 'filter' is just the
common word for it. I think it's really confusing not to use the word
'filter'. When I updated from OE 4 to OE 5 I really had a hard time finding
the filters because they changed the name to something stupid like this.
