Are those 'unfiltered' messages from the same POP account?

Something I don't get: if it's one of the last catch-all filtering rules
that moves messages to Unsure, and if you have some messages in Unsure
in the end of a filtering session, then those messages *are* filtered (by
your last filtering rule that moves to Unsure). And you should see this
filtering matching in the filtering log. Also: are you aware that some
filtering actions stop (move, delete, stop filter) the filtering
processing for the message being filtered, preventing further filtering
rules to be processes?
