about "Re: problem with filtering mail wit":
I have to disagree here. TB's filtering is _almost_ all right, although it really
lacks some power due to the limitations "built in" this system of filters of four
"flavours": inbox, outbox, read, replied. If this limitation is delt with in some
meaningful way (that is, it should be possible to logically group filters and to
"attach" such groups to the user-specified folders, for the first place), TB's
filtering will become awesome;-) All the necessary actions are all there
already, (almost) all the necessary triggers are also implemented -- so, what
else do you need?
As for Eudora's filtering, I failed to see _any_ power in it at all (judging by
Eudora 4.something I suddenly decided to down about a year ago or so;-)). It
_might_ seem user-friendly, but then it's much less functional then the filtering
system of TB. I don't think one needs the "user-friendlyness" at the cost of the
_quality_: such a decision is _too_ much a M$-like;-)

Thought for the day:
There's always one more bug.
