When you subscribe to a lot of e-lists (I subscribe to about35) and you 
get a lot messages coming in, you learn really quick about filter rules 
and how handy they are.

I used sylpheed-claws a number of years ago and it was very good. I used 
it for a bit. There is also evolution, I haven't looked at it in a 
while. I may want to look at them again.
