I am concerned that my Selected Download filters aren't working right. I
had been expecting to receive a software registration e-mail sometime
today and when it had not yet arrived, I checked the server using the
Dispatcher. Sure enough, it was there - marked read, but not marked to
receive.

I use the same Selective Download settings for all accounts, which
checks all headers (I have a spamkill.txt file and a spamignore.txt
file). Thinking that it might be an over-zealous ignore file, I looked
through the message header to see if I could spot anything that might
trigger an "ignore" - not download.

I couldn't find anything.  Then I copied the message to a different
account's Outbox and sent it that way.  And the message came through.  I
tried redirecting as well, and there was no problem - I received the
message as expected.

So this leads me to believe that there must be something unique in the
headers of the original message to cause the trigger.  But I copied the
headers from the original message (which was ignored) and pasted them
above the headers from the message that was redirected, and (as
expected), they were very similar.

I looked over the lines that were different and couldn't see anything
that matched any of the signal strings in my ignore file. What concerns
me is how easily I could have assumed all the messages had already been
received, and just deleted everything.

Anyone else experienced this?
