Filter will toss incoming mail into the first box matching it's
criteria. For instance, you've got filters named e-mags, humor,
personal and yarn set up to filter mailing lists into folders named
the same as the filter rule. Your yarn mails won't get sent to the
yarn folder since the rule will match a mail sent to your mail address
and get tossed into the personal folder (or pseudo group.) My
personal mail rule is named zz so if no mail matches any other rule,
it'll get tossed into personal by default. Anything not matching
these rules is typically spam and deserves to not take up any disk
space.

The newest version is 0.92. I'm a bit confused though. Above you say
v0.90 while below, you say v0.91 (neither is the latest and greatest,
though.) [Damn, my editor just ate your formatting.]
