           Summary: Manual filter buttons in external message window
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.10.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tony at beermad.org.uk


Version:           1.10.1 (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

A useful enhancement to the already excellent Kmail would be if it were
possible to add manual filter buttons to external message windows as well as to
the main window. Ideally (from my point of view) applying the filter would also
close the window, though it may be better to allow users to configure this
behaviour themselves.

The rationale behind this is as follows.
When I have finished reading an email, and don't want to keep it in the inbox,
rather than deleting it, I move it to a ClassifiedHam directory, which I use to
train Spamassassin. If a spam has got through, then I move it to a
ClassifiedSpam directory and also run an external script so that Spamassassin
knows about the message it let through. At present, I can do this with filter
buttons on the main window, but can't do this if I open messages in separate
windows, which is a better practice than using the preview window.
