Yes, there are ways of doing so - but how comfortable and difficult
are they? In generals there seems two ways of doing this: With params
(color groups, ...) or with spezial condition in container filter.
Second solution is not good, because you have make changes twice (in
subfilter and container filter) and first solution is better but
difficult (I think that not everybody realize that container filter
could be done with this solution).
So this wish wouldn't reduce the possibilities of NFS, but make them more
comfortable. In fact of this, I would say implement it if it's less
work, implement it later if its much work. Maybe one word about
implementation: I think it could be done in two different ways:
1) A option in sub-filter: [X] Stop continue processing with other
filter
2) Make it possible, to add "container filter" which has the condition
(by design) "one of the subfilter-condition matches". This condition
maybe shown in conditions ("Subfilter(s) matches") - and must be auto-updated.
I don't know what is easier to implement, but 1) seems to be more
powerfull?

I might ask you if you had the same idea independent of me?

:-( - it wouldn't take much time: Import my posted filter, check if
it's correct (did I make a mistake?), select a message and "test
filter". A short notice (maybe in bugtracker) would be nice.

Hm, interessting. In this way you save one filter (A3), right? But on
the other side, you have to add one action per subfilter. Did I miss
something?

Wow, good idea. Why didn't I have it?
