Thunderbird: create message filters based on a particular address book

[raph]

At present it is possible to create a filter that discriminates on  whether an address, e.g. From, is an the user's address book. I would  like to filter messages on a particular address book, to sort messages by membership of a particular interest group of mine.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

You get to select which address book is used and there is no limit on the number of address books you can have,  so I am confused as to what it is you are asking for that is not already available.
