This module provides a filtering language for Mahogany. It allows you to have
Mahogany look at different message properties, such as message contents, size
or header lines and execute arbitrary action on them. The most common use would
be to sort mails from different mailing lists in corresponding mailfolders,
to reduce the number of messages in your main incoming mailbox. Filters can
be specified in three possible ways:
- You can use the filters dialog. This is the most convenient and best supported
option.
- You can write them by hand, using a simple programming language remotely similar
to 'C', and put the filtering rules directly into the Mahogany configuration
file or registry.
- You can write complex rules yourself, save them to a file and tell Mahogany
to read the rules from that file.
The normal way to set up filters is to specify them in the filters dialog (2.2.2)
and then tell Mahogany folder which of the filter rules to use for the individual
folders with athe folder filters dialog (2.2.2).
