[At least] One of my filters has apparently stopped working.
Sadly, it is the one that deletes all of the messages that
SpamAssassin has tagged as SPAM, so its failure is having a
quite noticeable effect on my mail volume.  I have the
condition as:

  Header field X-Spam-Status contains Yes
  OR Subject contains :SPAM:

And yet I still receive hundreds of messages that meet one
or both of those conditions.

Since it is /possibly/ (though highly unlikely) that an earlier
filter is grabbing them, I looked at the log to check, but alas,
the log only has the past few hours and shows none of the messages
I was looking for.  I wanted to increase the log size, or have it
written to disk, but I cannot find any log control settings in the
preferences dialog.

So... I have a suggestion/request:

I think it would be nice to have an option that tells TB! to add
an additional mail header that names the filter TB! matched for
the message.  For example, something like:

  X-TheBat-Filter: Mail From Joe

And maybe even an additional option to add the part of the rule
that triggered the match, if such a thing is known:

  X-TheBat-FilterRule: Sender contains [email protected]

I know that the second part is asking a lot, but I think that the
first should be possible and it would keep a very useful piece of
information available as long as the message, without requiring a
very large log.

Would anyone care to second this idea?
