Gmail "Filter messages like these" Nov22 '07

I am slowly noticing the new Gmail "2.0" features, despite my initial impression that nothing changed other than a few tweaks to the design and performance of the application.

Turns out there are a slew of new changes, including new keyboard shortcuts, and this option I came across recently: "Filter messages like these":

It basically copies the "From" email address and begins creating a new filter for you.

If you select multiple conversations, each unique "From" address is used in the filter:

Not exactly "earth shattering," but it certainly saves time.
