GrowlMail Filtering

Hi,
I'd like to see no notifications for all my mailing lists, i.e. define some rules for messages do not want to be notified about.
Is there a chance of this being implemented in the future, or did I miss something and it's already there?

You could try setting up a mail filter to filter the emails to a separate box, that's what I do.

So I would need to add another (fake) account? Because I already have rules sorting messages into various folders.
There is an inbox-only option in the preferences. Wouldn't it be possible to make a list out of it, like the one for accounts, to enable/disable certain folders?

I believe we looked into it and couldn't get a list like that.
No, I'm saying I filter my email to separate folders and use the inbox only option to notify me of stuff. So I have an adium feedback folder, all my adium feedback email goes there, and growlmail doesn't notify me of it. Does that make sense?

It makes a lot of sense if you only want to be notified of mail in your inbox. But I don't want to miss notifications for all the non-mailing-list folders I have created.
So in the end the inbox only option is pretty useless for me.

Pretty much. Nothing we can do about it.

I'm sure that an enterprising coder could find a way to implement this. If you're reading this and interested in trying, go for it; there's no technical reason it's impossible, it's just the case that nobody who has looked at it has seen a way yet.
