This is an interesting idea.  I am guessing it would probably work if
you created a new filter rule that matched unread messages, with an
action of "stop filtering"?  Then any rules before this one would apply
to all messages, but rules running after this one would only apply to
read messages?  That way you wouldn't have to alter any existing
criteria.

Or in my case I could stop filtering if the message is unmarked, that
way the remaining rules would only work on messages that have been
marked for archiving.

Maybe I will have to settle for a two-key operation then, one key to
mark the message and another to run the rules?

Cheers,
Adam.
