The more complex the settings, the more people they'll be ideal for, but
the fewer people will understand them to use them in the first place. I
think we should aim for no more than about three or four possibilities.

Here's a first draft:

[/] Show in the messaging menu:

    (*) Any message
    
    ( ) Any personal message
        (Messages not marked as automated, where I’m in the To: field)

    ( ) Any personal message from someone in my Address Book

    Messages flagged by a filter will always be shown.

Probably we should default to the first setting -- not because it will
be appropriate for most people, necessarily, but because the sort of
people for whom every message is exciting are likely to be the same
people who never find their way into the Preferences.

The second option would differ from the current default in that it
doesn't pay attention to Priority, and it would include messages that
were CCed to a mailing list but To: you.

Any alternative suggestions?
