Another nifty feature I've discovered is that the Filters allow one not
just to put messages into Folders (looking for the List-ID was a pain -
Thunderbird does not inherently seem to know what a Mailing List is) but
automatically forwarding some "filtered" messages to others - very
useful feature.

I may have been unclear here, I was talking about creating a filter to
automatically forward an email (with particular characteristics) to
someone else - which is what Milan describes below

      Hi,
the Evolution allow that too [1]. It can do many things with the
message within the filter, not only move it to a particular folder.

Ah!

I've been using evolution for years (Linux for about 22+ years - since
Slackware installed from "stiffy" disks) and seem to have missed that
ability/feature - but see that it is now there and it looks more
comprehensive than what Thunderbird offers. Thanks Milan.

(Currently using: Evolution 2.32.3 on Gentoo)

Still no idea about translating a paragraph "on the fly" though...

eg:

ce list la, cette discussion, c'est officiel. mais ou sont les
francophones qui engage?

that is, can you highlight the above paragraph and translate it into
English without leaving Evolution? I'd hope for a "scrape" then
Right-Click with a Translate option.
