For instance, under Newbie I would create new folders for areas of interest, then filter on the lines of If Subject contains camera move to folder /newbie/camera. It's not 100% effective, but works reasonably well, particularly since I make sure that the filter that moves all other newbie list posts to the newbie folder is the last to be carried out.
