If you just signed up for a new mailing list or something, you want a quick, intuitive way to create a filter in 35 seconds, you'll use balsa's filter interface. You will *not* convince anyone that bringing up .procmailrc and writing the rule satisfies these criteria. You can't spend 1 hour designing all the filters you'll ever need up front because these needs change over time.. and you can't expect the average gnome user to even think of battling with the horrid syntax that is procmail. The procmail / arbitrary mail filter program support in balsa is just that - an extension to provide more functionality for power users. > >> Though balsa tends to take features of them all, it's still a MUA, > >> not a Mail Processing program. > Maybe it's a good idea to make a stopper or warning, when the number of > filters > 10? Maybe it's good idea to have balsa Do The Right Thing And Not Corrupt the Filters? Anything less is unacceptable. In fact, if balsa could sanity-check and even recover from an invalid filter file, that'd be swell.
