Default Automatic generation of message rules.

When a user gets an email in his inbox, he often relocates it to another
folder.
This can be automated using message rules.

Many of these rules are simple enough to allow automatic generation.

What I would like to see is, when for example i (right mouse button) move a
newsletter to the newsletters folder, there will apear a menu option:
'add rule for this sender'

Already there; right click on the message and choose Create Rule...

Your suggestion would be to limited as if offers no flexibility to select
another "easy" criteria while the current solution does.
