As it stands now, Thunderbird can only run filters on entire folders.  Eudora has the ability to run filters on just a selected group of messages.  This is a great feature, especially when filters fail at some point, or you change filters but don't want to process an entire mailbox.

Reproducible: Always

Agreed. Would be nice to be able to filter individual messages.

Absolutely.  Filtering single or groups of messages is definately a time saving feature that is an efficient way of dealing with a busy inbox.  For me, this is the single most important feature from eudora that is missing from thunderbird.

This was implemented in core Thunderbird code, so was tracked in a different bug 444209.  This feature is in Eudora 8 beta 4.
