I'm hoping I might have some time to work on that.  Busy at the moment,
though.

Don't see why not. 95% of a news reader is a mail reader.  Seems silly not
to support it. (Evolution will)

But that's not what he meant by threading, dammit!  Sigh.

Or am I wrong, did David commit code to group mails into threads?  I'm
pretty sure he committed code for asynchronoous mail chacking with
threads, but that's quite different :-)

I don't remember balsa ever having filters.  Whilst it would be nice to
have filters, sure, (a) procmail is a very good solution (b) exim is
another very good solution (c) evolution will do something even cleverer
than filters, eventually.
