Is there a limit to number of conditions I can set in Mail's spam filter?

Question

There seems to be a limit to the amount of conditions I can set in Mail's spam filter. ie there's no scroll bar down the side - the list just goes as long as my computer monitor's length will allow, and that's it.
Is that right - or is there a way to set more than about 28 conditions (in my case).

Tim,
yes, you can add more conditions (I don't know whether this is a limit or not) using AppleScript - the problem with the approach is that you will have somewhat of a hard time editing the rule in Mail after that as the buttons at the bottom of the window will no longer be accessible...
Look at the following AppleScript as an example on how to add a new condition to a rule called "Junk Rule"
Click to open this script in your Script Editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:500px">tell application "Mail"
tell rule "Junk Rule"
set theNewCondition to make new rule condition at end of rule conditions
tell theNewCondition
set rule type to subject header
set expression to "viagra"
set qualifier to does contain value
end tell
end tell
end tell</pre>
