Hi all,

For want of a better place to put manual filters, I create them as
"Read messages" filters and set them to only be invoked by a hotkey.
As I understand it, a sub-filter of a manual filter shouldn't be set
to use a hotkey; you can't assign the same hotkey and it should fire
if and only if its parent fires anyway.  This works fine for an
individual account.  But, if I do the same thing as common filters,
the sub-filter fires when a message is marked read.  Hmmm, clear as
mud.  To reproduce:

- For an individual account, create a "Read messages" filter that is
invoked *only* by a hotkey, matches any message and plays a sound.

- Create a sub-filter of that filter that matches any message and
plays a different sound.

Select a message, hit the hotkey and you should hear both sounds.
Cause a message to be marked read and you hear neither sound.  This,
IMO, is correct.

- Do the exact same thing as above, but create the filters as common
filters and share them with all accounts.

When invoked by the hotkey, you will correctly hear both sounds.  But,
if you cause a message to be marked read you will hear the
sub-filter's sound, when neither should play.

This was rather disconcerting, as one of my sub-filters was set to
move messages to my common spam folder.  As I read messages, they'd
dissapear from view.
