Any way to filter on multiple items on one line?

I know it's been discussed before, so I was wondering if there's either been any progress or any workaround . . .

I have a lot of filters, and I use them to separate various types and urgency of emails. Mostly I'm filtering on the presence of various disposable email addresses.

About 25 filters, for example, each search for one address and move them all into the same "commercial" folder.

It would make my filters screen a whole lot simpler (and maintaining it a whole lot easier) to be able to just have one filters which searches for a Boolean string of address1 OR address2 OR address3, etc etc etc.

Any way to accomplish this?

Nothing available yet.

I'm hoping for Regular Expression pattern matching. Since they use Perl it's easily available.

Your example would be written:

(address1|address2|address3)

Where "|" is the OR operator for Regular Expressions
