Hello MFPA,

Ticking the boxes as you stated:

Then clicking OK gets me this:

As you can see, your "Test filters" box and mine differ.  The "box within the 
box"
contains a single long line which describes what actions were taken with this
message as follows:

Message from MFPA, subject "Re: Feature request?  Messages display filtering
used.", size 6,368 bytes filtered (processed by "Processed by: Faux inbox.
Actions performed: Move to the folder \\Jack S.  LaRosa\Faux inbox", "Processed

Nowhere do I see an option to "log filtering results".

I can only assume the difference in our versions is causing the disparity.  I've
never used the right-click "test filters" option anyway.  I usually use the
FOLDER + RE-FILTER and then only if I've created a new filter or modified an old
one.  Even then I'm only interested in whether the filter worked or not and not
in how it worked.  I can see however how such information might help in
determining why a new or modified folder failed to work.  I'll try it next time.
