OK, I understand. My users are complaining about this behavior since this 
isn't the way it used to work. We've removed working functionality with 
this.

Was this done simply for aesthetics, to make ingo consistent with the other 
filter modules? In my installation, for instance, we'll only run ingo so I 
have no reason to make it consistent with procmail or sieve. I think a 
closer comparison for ingo would be the filters in Mulberry or Eudora and I 
believe those can be run on mailboxes other than the Inbox.

I've got no problem patching Imp to put the filter button back on the other 
mailboxes. Is there something in Ingo which would keep it from filtering 
other mailboxes? Is the current mailbox passed to Ingo or is it hard-coded 
to filter only the Inbox?

Thanks
