Interestingly enough, I proposed the same idea a few weeks ago. The
reason I suggested it is because I use procmail for server side
filtering, and you can do nested filters, matching on a common item.

Its archive is here:

The thread, and one of the ideas posted by another member of the list
was certainly interesting.  An idea proposed wouldn't be to nest
filters, but to provide a filter that had a "Jump to" option.  That
way you could have all the filters as you have now, but if you order
your filters correctly, we'll take your list below as an example...

     +- List [1]
     +- TBBETA [2]
     +- From XXXX [3]
     +- Misc Filter

What could happen is the TBBETA filter has a NOT statement on it. It
says if the headers doesn't match what you want... then "Jump To" the
Misc Filter. This would mean anything matching what you wanted would
hit the "From XXXX" filter. It's a more workable solution I think.

I'd certainly love to be able to do this. Combined filters, with the
option to collapse would be nice. I think it's more ideal in a list
situation, but I could certainly see a need for it in the work/friend
situation too, combined with groups in the address book, it could be
very useful indeed.
