Well, the complexity seen by the user is defined by the GUI. It would still be
possible to define a filter finding
"members of category X"
and so.
Do you think the filtering function in outlook 2000/Xp or the search function
in evolution is overcomplex?
Anyway, my idear is to make a listview containing the filter, with a "new
rule" button that displays a dialog letting the user choose a field, a
condition and enter or choose a test string, the available conditions and
test strings could be depending on the field chosen.
