Well, okay, whatever makes people happy.  I must admit it makes it very
fast to select that top filter now!

Ah, okay.  So this is similar to doing a custom filter and then a "move
all", except that it all happens automagically with one button press?  I
know I got messed up the first time I pressed this, because I mistook it
for the "custom filter" button.  Sadly, the message I'd selected
disappeared from sight and I still don't know where it went to. 
Hopefully it wasn't an important message.  (and hopefully it was only
one!)

It still seems good to leave this off of the main button bar, I think. 
New users will get stubbed by it, and ultra-efficient users will be
using hotkeys anyway.

Crud, you're right.  Never noticed that....

Cool!
