Is this done by remembering a history of past filtering,
or by trying to predict what filters _would_ act on the message?
A difficulty with the latter is that filters are assigned
properties to act at different times, including any combination
of "Incoming" (action occurs only after retrieving from server),
"Outgoing" (action occurs only after transmitting to SMTP server),
and/or "Manual" (action occurs only upon manual "filter" command).
The procedure above can not actually know which of those conditions
was (or will be) met at the actual time of filtering,
in which case the question might arise,
how does Eudora proceed to match those filtering types
to the message being examined now, or does it simply
highlight all filters which might *ever* act on the message?
