FILTER SUMMARY MODE

The file SYS:PUBLIC;FILTER-SUMMARY provides a "Filter Summary Mode"
for mail buffers similar to that provided by the mail reader in Release 2.
To use this mode you must load the XLD file, read your mail file, and enter
M-X Filtered Mode.  To make this mode your default, set the variable
ZWEI:*MAIL-SUMMARY-MODE* to :FILTERED in your LOGIN-INIT file.

Filter Summary Mode is an interface for managing mail messages similar to
that provided by DIRED for managing files.  A "Filter" is a test performed
on messages to select only those messages that meet certain criteria.
Messages can be filtered based on keywords, attributes, text content,
sender, recipients, and date.

A filter summary initially contains one line for each mail filter defined
in your mail file -- no message summary lines are displayed initially.
Filters can be "expanded" to show the summary lines for messages that
"pass" a filter.  New filters can be created and saved in your mail file.
Existing filters can be deleted from the display and from your mail file.
