That's pretty much what I did. I have about 50 filters so it wasn't
easy, but I did it.
If you have a lot of filters and would prefer typing it into a config
file directly, rather than setting them up one by one in the GUI, I can
give you the necessary filter file format hints.
Additionally, claws doesn't seem to have a built-in method for adding a
header via filter, which is one of the things I did with my kde filter
scripts, with each one adding a header indicating the filter name, so I
had some hope of diagnosing problems when things went awry. BUT...
That's where claws-mail extensibility comes to the rescue, there's a
filter action that allows calling an external script with filter
controlled parameters, and now I have a script that adds the header as
assigned by the filter. =:^)
If such a script sounds useful, to you or anyone else, ask and I can post
it, or a link to it, or something. (I should probably think about
contacting upstream, to have it added to their list of utility scripts,
but I've not done that yet, and I didn't see a script for it in the
existing list, thus my creation of my own solution.)
I see you expanded on your other comment in a second post, so I'll
address it in a reply there.
