An appliction browser, no, that's a bit too much work for me ...

But the '.' idea is something that even I (far from being a Browser
expert) could do : 

 1. add method to String class

    isHidden ^self beginsWith:'.'

 2. add method to ClassOrganizer

    visiblecategories ^(self categories) select:[:c | (c isHidden) == false].

 3. change Browser messageCategoryList method to use 'visiblecategories'.

and it seems to work for me ... 

It's nice that the system is so flexible.

Maybe it's a bit too flexible !  What I'm afraid of now, is that
something's going to be screwed up after this change ...
