[EMBOSS] contributing to emboss

[Kiefer, Dr. Markus]

Hi Afif, 

do you know about the -filter option? But I agree, that should be the default. 

I think the retrieval functionality is in need of an overhaul. There should be
an easier way to access modern Genbank for example, while e.g. SRS and GCG are
much less important, meanwhile. 

Best,
Markus
