Re: [Evolution] Mark as read in message filter

["Mark @ StantonCentral" <mark stantoncentral co uk>]

It's good to hear that there doesn't appear to be  limit on the number
of conditions, thanks for that.

I has to confess to error. It seems some idiot has set up a separate
rule to move messages into that folder without marking them as read.
Unfortunately that would be me :-(

So no, there's no problem here other than my own.

Sorry to have muddied the waters.
