Thanks for the 2.3 patches; Elm is working well and everybody likes it.  The problem is that I decided to try filter the other day.  I was very cautious to begin with, just using one rule.  The messages went through but when I looked, Elm said the folders contained no new messages.  A closer look showed that filter is depositing messages in the folders but not adding the header line

or whatever.  Can anyone tell us where we've made the obvious mistake in installing filter?

               Many thanks,
