this was a good long shot but I checked the most possible filters to do such a thing and they were not the culprit. bit I have seen in the past that deleting an account could mess-up some filters and then produce unexpected results. one of these days - hmm... how many days in my past have I've been saying this already? - one of these days I mean to clean up all of my filters and can then double-check and ensure this is not happening.
