Last time I checked the "feature" that removed your own emails
(actually, sends them to the archive and bypasses sending them to you)
got to the emails BEFORE the filters.  So at the time that trick did
not work.

Well, several bug reports from several people later and google where
still adamant that it's a feature, not a bug.  I was just mentioning it
for people that do use gmail, I know he's using the company email
system.

Who knows, maybe there is a more elegant way around it now, I do know
the "feature" still exists though, after a lot of years.  Elegant as in
"hey gmail idiots, just let me turn the damned 'feature' off".
