Version:           0.7.2 (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

OS:          Linux

I'm searching for a way to "serialize" at least two different filters. So that one is applied after the other.

Reason: I want to have a killfile to filter out messages from people I do not want to read. I know, I can do that by scoring them down and then using a filter that displays only people with score more than 0.

But I am currently using another filter which I do not want to loose: The filter that only displays threads that contain unread messages. 

I did RTFM and STFW, but I think there is no way to have both of them, currently. For example, if I add the scoring criterias to the "Threads with unread messages" filter (which always applies to the entire thread), nothing happens. I still see the entire thread including the postings of the trolls I don't like.
If I change the filter so that it applies only to one article and not the entire thread, I see all unread messages that are not from trolls, but the rest of the thread (the messages already read) are gone.
And apperantly, there can only be one filter active.

What I want is that all posting with negative score are filtered out and only in the remaining rest, all threads with unread messages are displayed. I think the best way to get this is allow people to use several filters at the same time, one after the other, with a customizable order.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
