until now I'm not using mail filters, but your idea looks very good!

Has this ^ character a special meaning ("all other")? Why ASCII 64?

YAEH! If needed, there could be filter names like "aa", "ab" ... "bb"
and so on. As the doc file says:
Filter rules are processed in sorted order by rule name. Each
rule is checked in turn until a match is found. If no rules
match, the message is moved to the INBOX folder.
I think I will set up rules in this manner. Thank you for posting the
idea!
