Sure.  The underlying IMAP_Search library handles it.  However, the problem is
(and the reason I personally haven't done anything - even though this has been
on my wishlist ever since I wrote IMAP_Search several years ago) figuring out
the UI aspect of it.  I haven't come up with a clean way of doing this without
making it unbearably complex and confusing to the user.

BTW, this same issue goes for the IMP Search screen - once we figure 
out how to
do nested rules we can implement them on that page also.
