Hello, when you decide to filter large amounts of messages in KMail (say, 
some 1000 messages in a folder of a mailing list), KMail currently lets you 
in an unknown state about the progress of the filter process.
You have no chance to guess when KMail will have processed all messages. 

Kmail until 1.9.0 even froze on the display, but this has been fixed. 
Additionally, I would like to introduce a string in the 3.5 branch to show 
the user how many messages have been processed. So the user has a chance to 
estimate the point in time when the filtering will be finished.

Output in status line:
      "Filtering message 1200 of 3580"
Code:
      QString statusMsg = i18n("Filtering message %1 of %2");
      statusMsg = statusMsg.arg( msgCount ).arg( msgCountToFilter );

I want to ask the translators if it's okay to introduce this new string. 
Further improvements can be delayed to KDE 4, but IMO this change can help 
a lot of users.

Best regards,
Andreas
