Hi all,

I first noticed this problem in 3.0.2.1, and posted my findings here.
There was no response and the problem hasn't been fixed, so I'll try
again.  I like the idea of peer review before opening a BT item, but
when I don't get any should I just open a BT report?  Anyway...

For want of a better place to put manual filters, I create them as
"Read messages" filters and set them to only be invoked by a hotkey.
This works fine for an individual account.  But, if I do the same
thing as common filters, any sub-filters are evaluated when a message
is marked read.  To reproduce:

- For an individual account, create a "Read messages" filter that is
invoked *only* by a hotkey, matches any message and plays a sound.

- Create a sub-filter of that filter that matches any message and
plays a different sound.

Select a message, hit the hotkey and you should hear both sounds.
Cause a message to be marked read and you hear neither sound.  This,
IMO, is correct.

- Do the exact same thing as above (use a different hotkey), but
create the filters as common filters and share them with one or more
accounts.

When invoked by the hotkey, you will correctly hear both sounds.  But,
if you cause a message to be marked read you will hear the
sub-filter's sound when neither should play.

This was rather disconcerting, as one of my sub-filters was set to
move messages to my common spam folder.  As I read messages, they'd
disappear from the folder.
