and wading through all the received and others to find the X-Spam* and
other "interesting" headers is a pain.

I have had no luck getting filters to understand arbitrary headers on an
IMAP account and understanding how the filters work is a problem (for
me) as well. 

The filters and vFolders functionality is, err, confusing at best (and
I'm a former Outlook user). 

I really think this argument that Show All Headers, and View Email
Source can replace this requested functionality is Specious. 

However, I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, and will shut up now. 

I will also see if I can find yet another Email/Contact/Task/Calendar
product that meets my needs, and is willing to at least listen.  

I had such high hopes.
