Allow to create Group Filter with "Create Filter from Message" menu

You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
Currently it is only possible to us the "Group" Template (which allows for gathering multiple sender addresses to be added to the filter conditions) via the filter assistant and then moving the emails. It would be good to support this with the message command "quickFilters: create filter from message". If more than one email is selected the message "To create a filter, please select exactly one email!" is shown. Currently the only workaround is to add the recipients one by one and using the merge feature.
This is just a comment to get me added
Created an attachment (id=7812) [details] 2.5 prerelease 6 Here is a patched version - note that you must select the "Group" template in order to harvest email addresses from multiple emails. Note that the "Group" template goes through the email addresses listed in your mail accounts (identities) and removes them from the list (as it is not useful to filter mails sent by yourself).
Created an attachment (id=7818) [details] 2.5 prerelease 33 Added the expansion of most address fields and also made it resilient to case inconsistencies. I also added a filter that removes your own email addresses so you do not accidentally filter out your own mail when selecting multiple emails. It can always happen that one of your addresses is somewhere in the middle of a top or cc list and gets overseen.
Fixed - Version 2.5 - 02/04/2014 - Use Group Template
Great work Axel!
