            Bug ID: 3708
           Summary: Message flag/option to exempt individual messages from
                    filtering and processing
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.14.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 10
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: Filtering

If messages are filtered and processed based on certain message criteria
(sender, subject, etc.), filtering or processing may sometimes give an unwanted
result, which cannot easily be solved by adapting the filter or processing
rules.

In these instances it is sometimes the easiest solution to call it a rare
exception and change the outcome manually (i.e., move the mail to another
folder, assign a different label, etc.). However, if filter and processing
rules are reapplied to the respective e-mails, they will revert the manual
changes, which is certain to happen if processing rules are configured to be
applied whenever a folder is opened.

It would be helpful to be able to exempt individual messages from filtering and
processing in order to protect manual changes from being reverted. This option
should be easily accessible through the context menu:

(...)
Add filter rule > (...)
Add processing rule > (...)
Exempt from filtering > filter rules
                      > processing rules
                      > both
(...)
