And that's the problem: IMO automatic filtering is vital for a
decent email-client. What, if the add-on is not maintained anymore, or
the update to a newer version of TB takes too long? Agreed,
add-ons are for expanding functionality, but vital functions
shouldn't be delegated to community-maintained  add-ons.

Just my 2 cents.
