There's the catch. To my knowledge, you can only have one filter per
hot key. I hope someone tells me I am wrong. What I have done in the
past to get around this is to:

Assign a hot-key to the Re-filter messages option in the Folder menu.
When that pops up, you can select the filters you want to run by
group. Select Read and manual only and it should work.

The only caveat is that you don't have any other Read filters that do
things you might not want. For example, I have a Read filter that
saves the highlighted message as text. It's a manual only filter and I
wouldn't want that to run and so this solution wouldn't work for me on
one particular account.

It would be great as a work-around if there was some way to
"double-up" on filters - for example, move a set of messages to one
folder and, as they enter that folder, have a set of filters that act
on the messages and filter them further. I don't know if that is
possible or not. I've experimented some but have never been able to
get it to work. Hopefully, someone will tell me there's a real easy
way of doing this that I have missed.
