Hi, just fyi, I added this to the filter menu last year.

  1) browse senders of the message
  2) in the top pane of message browser, Shift+Yellow button, menu appears
  3) select "filter message list..." (type "f" - "i" - "l").
  4) select "methods in package..." (type "p" - "a" - "c" - "k")
  5) select the package from which you only want to see senders from
