suggestion make "saving empty filter" possible

[Erik]

A few days ago, i tried to save my filter from a.b.boneless when i was with finished autowatch/downloading.
The filter was emptied at first, but i could not save empty files.
So i put a "x" as a dummy in the filter and saved it.

Today was getting new headers from a big newgroup and saw NP selecting and downloading all kind of files i didnt knew (every file with a x in it).

I was forgotten to to set autowatch on "off" that happens to me a lot with all those newgroups and filters i use.

Is it maybe possible to let NP save empty filters, so when i forget tot set watch on "off" again nothing gets selected and dloaded.

Thanks Erik

the watch filter that does nothing can be e.g.

subject contains * wildmat ban
