Ahah! I've been trying to filter from newsgroups! Thanks for the input. I've been looking around for help on this, but apparently this shortcoming wasn't well enough documented for me to find this before. Also too bad that the message filter dialog still opens from within a newsgroup even though the filtering is not enabled. If not enabled the option should be grayed out IMHO. :)
