Yes.  Filters really rock.  People, please try to learn a little
Celeste-Do before assuming that it should be just like other mail
readers.  If you want mutt, then by all means use mutt.

With my filters patch, you can even have multiple filters of each kind
-- now multiple categories becomes a truly useful feature.  "show me
sent messages to the squeak list" is extremely easy.
