Yes, the mail filters are a mess to sort through, but here are my
suggestions to make things more manageable...

Folders - With a limit of 16 entries per filter, a contact list of a
hundred entries, let's say, results in 7 filters that all do the same
thing - i.e.: Computer 1, Computer 2, Computer 3, Computer 4, Computer 5,
Computer 6, Computer 7...  Why couldn't all of these be put into a folder
called "Computer"?  In my case, this would cut the window clutter from 57
separate filters, to under 20 separate filters and filter folders.

Combining Conditions - A large number of the 16 entries per filter that I
have are for people that I correspond with.  This means that there is a
"From" condition and a "To" condition for a single e-mail address.  Why
can't one of the pop-up options be "From or To"?  This would reduce
filter-bloat considerably.

Labels - If none of the above are doable, how about color labels for the
filters?  My 22 "Compter" filters could be yellow, and my 8 "Company"
filters could be blue, and so on.  This couldn't be very difficult to program.

At any rate....  Working with PowerMail's filters can be a pain.  Better
organizational tools would help.

My 2¢.
