Hello Greg,

Since I don't have my "Ignore Emulation" tuned up yet I mark whole
threads as Read only when I am not really interested in them or don't
have the time to read them. For single messages I use Space instead of
Ctrl+M and Enter to jump to next unread. :-) (Can't find a way to do
both with a single keystroke, but I haven't given up yet).

I'm not surprised, I wasn't asking anything :)

Well, I can think of a few filters I'd like to have to do some actions
except moving the message to another folder. For example the Ignore
filter I'm experimenting with. It is an Incoming mail filter so source
folder is _forced_ to Inbox and if I don't want to move the filtered
messages the target folder has to be Inbox. But then, if I want to
manually run the Ignore filter on another folder (i.e. TBUDL),
filtered messages will be moved to Inbox unless I edit the filter
before using it. It's a stupid limitation.

I only see Regex useful for quite elaborated templates and I try to
keep mine as simple as possible. KISS, you know.

Thanks for the explanation. I don't know anything about horses and I
don't follow races, neither in the US or in the rest of the world
(much bigger than US, BTW :)

You see, this is an example of what I mean by saying about forgetting
to do a search and whatever. I have your message still marked for
Reply (with a colour group) but I haven done a search in a while. If
it had been moved to my Reply folder at least I would see it several
times a day. As I use my Reply folder mainly for work e-mail I think I
need a second one for lower priority replies.

It is my main tool to accomplish my daily work, like VA was in the
past.
