Sorry about that.

Yeah, I had quite a bit of trouble coming up with examples, because
anything I could think of that could be done with a combination of pre
and folder and post filters can probably be done with just one of
them.

There must be filters that require the fine timing those offer,
though. Maybe someone who requires them will jump in and give a solid
example of when they're necessary.

I probably use filters incorrectly (or at least not quite as
intended) since I just use the pre filter for everything and filter
all my messages globally.
