I think this may relate to problematic behaviour that I have found. I am running Evo 1.4.5 and in a desire to read less information, I have been trying to use filters on subjects to delete message threads that I am not interested in. If these messages are from a mailing list where there is already a filter to move to another mailbox, the delete filter is not run regardless of how I order the filters in the list.
