Um? Well, most radio buttons I've seen are placed below each other, esp.
when their labels are that wide. Frankly, this pair of radio buttons was
that last thing I thought of as making trouble...

I've got other plans with those. The group box "Filter Criteria"
contains the search pattern, after all. I don't think that those options
would be placed well in there. I'd rather make a new group box
(depending on whether there are other options to be put there), or - and
that's what I think I will do - put two more columns in the filter list
box and place check{boxes,icons} there.

The third possiblility would be to make multiple filter lists (incoming,
outgoing, user defined, e.g. "apply this filter list when folder Foo
contains more than x messages", ie. using filters to manage
(shadow-)folders as archives). But I haven't made up my mind about that
one.
