Dear Ralf,

Thank you. I also came to the conclusion that it is easier to patch
Roundup than workaround this in the web interface. First, I will only
implement it where I need it, but later I will try to extend filter /
filterspec everywhere in the web interface. If it seems to work and it
is tested, I will send my patch to the devel mailing list.

Regards,
Gábor
