Hello, friends.

I have got lots of folders and reorganize them often.

Whenever a new penpal (P) occurs, I usually create
a folder (PF) for storing the related communication.
Since I want the incoming/outgoing messages be stored
in PF automatically, I usually create the corresponding
pair of filters which move incoming/outgoing messages
to PF according to Sender/Recipient.

What I am dreaming of is automating the filtering
and making it as easy as entering P's address (or two)
somewhere in PF's properties (e.g., in PF's memo).

If folder memos were searchable via macros, I could
create a single pair of filters with condition like
"Some folder's memo contains '<addr>%Sender/%Recipient</addr>'"
and action like "Move to the folder
%FirstFolderWhoseMemoContains='<addr>%Sender/%Recipient</addr>'"
or something similar.

I do understand that the above is realizable via AB
with some clever macros/regexps but I cannot use fixed
folder paths in AB, since my folders are permanently
reorganized.

In addition, I would like to use PF's properties
(rather than AB) for specifying additional info on P
(such as greetings, etc.) for using in message templates,
but I am not aware of macros which can help me.
Currently I enter P's info in PF's templates,
but this leads to unpleasant duplicating the info
needed for "New Message" and "Reply" templates.
Again, I could store the corresponding info in PF's memo,
but it is useless without a %FolderMemo macro.

Any ideas?
