Ok see what you mean, however I think we could get the best of both worlds 
if you has an easy way to set up the initial if in folder x then use identity x 
and pgp signature z rule so that users who don't want to get involved in rules 
for what ever reason. Ok who to you submit new feature requests to ? and how 
hard do you think it would be to implement this feature ?
