not sure what you mean by 'keep track', but 'tbird' does have a
'filter log' you can enable.

you filter for spam/junk mail. 'soap box' threads are not that much
more trouble.

when a new 'sb' thread starts, i just press <ctrl+u> to get 'source'
window, then click 'tools > message filers' and open active filter,
click '+' to add. then a short pointer drag and center button click
and i have a new 'sb' filter. takes longer to describe than to do.

they can always ask magic words of 'how to'
