But that still doesn't get around the problem of the old messages (the ones that the filter is supposed to act upon were received days ago) not being selected. As far as I can tell, filters will act automatically on messages 'in motion' (ie. incoming or outgoing) or manually on *selected* messages... but I don't see a way to have them act automatically on unselected messages, even if those messages meet the filter's criteria.
Yes, I could use Cron to send a message that would activate an applescript via a filter to delete the appropriate messages, but that seems a VERY long way around the houses -- especially to someone who has zero knowledge of Cron or Applescript -- to accomplish something that I'd hoped to be able to do using PM's own functionality.
