Yep. You could use Hamster. Or, perhaps, nFilter. I've never used
either, because my heavy lifters for news/mail have good filtering
capabilities (or they would only be novelties for me, like TB). But
others are happy using them (Hamster and nFilter, and, for that matter
slrnpull and Leafnode). A good place to discuss their various plusses
and minuses is news.software.readers. It's the first group I read after
I poll the server. It's a good small group and has some wizards.

Except in Thunderbird, which can't filter that well.
