[Users] Can you apply multiple filters to a message?

Whooo, that was messed up.

What I meant to say was:

The first option won't work (see below), but the second one should be
possible..

Some filter actions in Claws Mail are "final" which means that following
actions won't be done anymore, and also that no further rules will be
applied. Final rules are (out of my head, might be incomplete): Delete,
move, and stop.

So, you cannot move and then unmark, but you should be able to have a
rule that unmarks, followed by more rules that do further processing.

This should actually work.

That's true, since moving is final, see above.

In any case, if your rules get so complicated, maybe it would make
sense for you to use the Perl plugin. There, you can group, nest and
combine as you wish.
