MS Lookout has something called "Views" which allows you to set up filters on messages and such, but they are rather limited (read: useless) because they only work on a single folder, not across several folders. But, yeah, I guess one shouldn't be surprised if Microsoft steals the idea. Maybe Ximian should patent the concept? ,-) Hmmmm...

A suitable add-on to the Evolution license stating something like, "Anybody Microsoft is allowed to use concepts, ideas, etc covered by patent no. ..." -- Janus Christensen ______________________________________________________ I want something that'll give me the stamina of a young werewolf, the vision of a shaman, the thoughts of a serial killer and the gentleness of a hungry vampire bat. -- Spider Jerusalem, Transmetropolitan
