<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi, all,<br>
I'm what could be called a sophisticated user. Use some scripting
myself (batch, some javascript for own website, but for both help
forum in the internet a necessity, most often
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.typerscript.de/">http://www.typerscript.de/</a> which is quite interesting since the
variables contain two values, a string and a digit, so programming
is easier sometimes).<br>
Nevertheless there is always the feeling that software is somehow
incomplete or unprofessional if the user shall use own additional
scripts, even if it is easier - which the user doesn't know.<br>
<br>
Important seems to me, that the user is either guided excellently
(to not overcharge less experienced), or is offered an easy
(=actual filter dialogue) or professional dialogue.<br>
<br>
I could quite easy build up quite complex rules with ms outlook
2003; you are guided through several dialogues (which is boring if
you just want to install an easy filter; maybe there was a
shortcut, but if, then I missed it) thus you can't make severe
mistakes... and you are not shocked by a complex dialogue.<br>
Thus, the nested filters from Axel - not a bad idea, I more and
more like it...<br>

and tb-planning,

I don't really have many specific comments on your general
proposals, other than to say that I have pushed for years for some
UI guru to try to work on the problem of designing a usable
interface for boolean filters.
<br>
<br>
But from the FiltaQuilla perspective, for sophisticated users the
easiest way to do boolean filters is with a javascript custom
search term. So a search term like:
<br>
<br>
If sender OR recipient is <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:myfriend@mail.com">"myfriend@mail.com"</a> AND subject
contains "Viagra"
<br>
<br>
is really simple as a javascript custom search term.
