Filters in a file?

2003-11-05 Thread Cilfa 
Hi,

  I would like to be able to manage my filters with a text file,
  instead of managing them with the sorting office. Is this possible
  (and how)? I'm asking this since I have noticed that people post
  text representations of filters.
  Managing the filters in a text file seems to me to be a lot easier,
  and more importantly: I can create a set of filters for e.g. my
  parents and e-mail it to them, instead of having to travel a day :)

No. Well, you can keep a repository of useful filters, but they must
be maintained in the sorting office.

That's because filters will copy to the clipboard in LDIF text
format and can be pasted back in the same way. That makes filter
exchange (one at a time) fairly easy, but it's not a good method for
bulk maintenance / exchange.

Yes, but one at a time with copy / paste instructions.
