Actually you're right I do not see that anymore (I was unable to  
compile for the last few days because of GTK_WRAP_WORD_CHAR undefined  
in gtk-2.2.x).
But still with lastest CVS I have messages that are not correctly  
filtered, they stay in my Inbox. And IIRC it could be that I have 10  
messages from balsa-list and say 8 get filtered, and 2 stay in the  
Inbox (I will try to confirm that though).
