Show feedback for every "own" Email address that is dropped from new filter #106

Currently the assistant silently drops addresses when you create new filters if they could lead to unwanted outcomes:

If you add multiple emails to a filter in order to move all mails from a group of correspondents, your own Email within the conversation would also be added, which means that all your own correspondence would be affected; this would most certainly lead to unwanted outcomes, and so own email addresses in "from" or "to" parts are usually discarded without notifying the user.]

This can lead to apparently inconsistent behavior (especially when creating new filters based on test mails we may have generated ourselves). A visual feedback (alert or notification?) should be shown for better transparency. All removed parts should be displayed in the message.
