Hello Jonathan & list,

Perfect example is a friend who has [EMAIL PROTECTED] as
his address.  He is definitely not a spammer, so I sort his mail
FIRST with a filter for his exact mail address.  The spam filter
comes later, with 'SEX' as the trigger ANYWHERE in the message!
If I resorted my filters, the order could be changed and my
IMPORTANT messages from my known correspondent could be trashed!

Sorting the Sorting Office - NOT a good idea.  That is why they
have the MOVE UP and MOVE DOWN buttons!  Use with caution though,
as the net effect could be NOT EXACTLY what you intend!!
