It could be necessary for the parent filter...  example...

You have an email address (alias) dedicated for mailing lists.  In your above 
example, the first rule would then be to know if a message has been sent to 
this specific email address, and then classify every different mailing list 
with different sub-filters...  so it's clean : you will not trigger a lot of 
sub-filters for emails sent to your main address.

But : sometimes you may have someone from a list replying privately to your ML 
address : you may prefer that this message is processed by your other filters 
for "outside ML messages", like for sample flagging mails coming from peoples 
in your address book..

In that case, it will be :

Filter : Lists
        Condition : sent to your list address
        Continue other filters

Subfilter : list one
        Condition : ...
        Do not continue other filters

Subfilter : list two
        Condition : ...
        Do not continue other filters


With this scenario : if a mail catch the first rule but not any subfilter, then 
the filtering should continue.


> Off   hand  I  can't  think  of  any  example  where  using  'continue
> processing' isn't contra-productive.

Two rules : one to flag messages coming from known peoples (from AB) and 
another to move messages according some keywords...  those two rules are not 
exclusive each other : the first rule should not stop parsing the second rule...
