Yes, it's in English, perhaps written or contributed to by a German. 
Last update 2006. It's in Pascal. I took a brief look in the file 
cFilterNews.pas and it looks like it might filter on body text, but 
I'm not sure. 

I also looked at the leafnode docs yesterday. AFAICS it only filters 
on the header, though it will optionally load the whole article.

One could build a proxy that runs on the same computer as TB which
- changes every HEAD command to ARTICLE
- scans the body for a filter match
- if not found passes the header unchanged - dropping the body
- if found adds a special 'ignore' header for TB to find
