In which email client? I don't use one at all, I just log in to GMail
with my browser. In the past I've used my browser's built in email
client (Opera M2) but I didn't like it's behaviour when set to IMAP,
so I tried Evolution instead which worked better, but none of them are
as convenient as just logging in to the web site (except the filter
options then, I guess…). Maybe I should ask the GMail people to add
that feature. At the moment it looks like the filters are somewhat
more limited than in most of the email clients out there.

Well, I guess I could do something like that. Better than nothing, anyway.
