Thanks for your hint. I have applied the filter by hand as you suggested
and it works; even in the logfile there is now a message:

$ cat /tmp/evo-filter.log 
Applied filter "test filter" to message from Matthias Apitz <guru unixarea de> - "ttt" at Fri, 17 Jul 2009 
16:15:17
Action: Copy to folder email://local local/zTODO

And now? I file a bug report? Thx
