[imapfilter-devel]Filter rules are not applied in the given order (0.8.6)

[Frank Schroeder]

All,

I'm getting a lot of mails on internal mailing lists and people usually 
crosspost to several mailing lists. So I want to put a copy of a message 
into a mailing list specific folder.

As a "catch all" rule I want to move all messages which don't have my 
own address in the TO or CC header out of my INBOX.

This requires that the filter rules are applied in the same order as 
they are in the imapfilterrc file but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I can see that my catch all rule is applied before other rules although 
it is the last one in the file.

I've tried 0.8.4 and 0.8.6.

I've defined my rules like this

filter name
	...
action copy ....
job 	name	inbox
...
...
filter not-for-me
	not to ..
	not cc ..
action move
job	not-for-me	inbox

Is this the intendend behaviour? Am I missing something.

Thanks

P.S.: This tool is extremely useful. Thanks a lot.
