[X4U] Mail Filters (was: Tiger... why...)

I've wondered why the filters were so rudimentary. Plus:

 - Why not filter messages that are full of, or contain a block of
non-grammatical/misspelled text? Or even a nonsensical/misspelled subject
line?

 - Allow me to filter messages that are in a foreign language I can't read?

 - Filter messages in all caps? Oh, sure, that will sometimes filter out
messages from my well meaning Mom, but it will be a chance to teach her good
netiquette!
