something I've been waiting for for ages!

The annoying thing is that I can't figure out how this bug happens - I was
blaming the interaction with the gnome-config stuff. Another related annoyance
with this bug is that even if you did manage to correct that filter (by 
editing $HOME/.gnome/balsa by hand) or delete it, then you would either find
that balsa had recreated the filter (!) or balsa would have transferred the
screwed-up config (making each condition in each filter apply to just one filter)
to a different filter. Most annoying! I'll be interested to see whether Manu's
latest patch fixes it.

now if I could just work out why my run of autogen.sh is failing.... ;)

cheers,
James
