There is a checkbox "Overwrite existing filters" - if checked, the
filter will be placed on the top.

You very well may not want that either. :)

Hello, The Bat Users!

 You've  already got that - hit Ctrl-Shift-F in the message list
 window when you've marked the appropriate message and a dialog
 pops up asking you what criteria to use and where to move it to
 (a simplified version of the Account|Sorting Office/Filters menu
 command).

t> Doesnt seem to work on my system

Then try pop-up menu. Specials|Create filter. If you want to use the
shortcut, remember, that the message list should have the focus at
that moment. And check if other software is linked to this shortcut
(like some explorer's LNK files or smth else...)
