According to one of the Weatherscope developers, this is how the filtering works:

>CB_INSERTSTRING to add).

As far as I can tell from a +message,+edit,+combo trace, the WM_TIMER messages
stop being dispatched once one clicks in the line edit, and instead I see
WM_SYSTIMER messages being sent.  After the aforementioned clicking around, the
WM_TIMER messages are sent again and filtering works.  Anyone have _any_ idea
what could be going on here?
