I tried a different approach. Adding Specific header stuff from
filtertypes.xml to vfoldertypes.xml (under /usr/share/evolution/2.10/).
But it didn't work, even though the options appear under the vfolder
dialog, they aren't applied.

As for the code to make filter apply to several folders, I'll have to
check that, even though i suspect it might take some time (since i'm on
a well deserved vacation time :D ).
