Again, as I asked (without getting an answer) when Sean made this suggestion:
Hide areas depending on what criteria? Doesn't filtering work?

So far, we have the possibility of a long and short area list as well as the
possibility set a filter on it.

What areas do you want to hide? Is it a BBBS specific demand?

I already thought about this, but while a "negative" filter isn't too
difficult to realize, we'll soon talk about some boolean operators and
regular expressions, which would be really hard work to implement.

 BS> What I would like to be able to do is set up multiple exclusion filters

Do you need them as a set of (say like 10) freely definable filters or fixed
on a per area basis?

I already though about adding a few input box macros (\0 ... \9). You'll
define them in the rc-file and simply enter, for example, \4 in any input
field (filter, search, letter header or whatever) to get it filled with what
you defined in the rc-file for that. Would that be handy?

A twit filter is on my todo list (but will require a lot of work).
