Pete,

That's about correct, and I see where that can be seen as a limitation. You
can only filter by category in the way that you're mentioning AFAIK. One
way would be to include an [Evolution] or [$APP] tag in the subject line
and filter by that but that'd require instructing users to do so, not
particularly feasible. But that's definitely a good point.
