Precedence of filters over junk filtering

Taking the occasional look through my junk folder to look for messages 
falsely identified as junk, it's at least annoying to have to wade 
through yards of messages which my kill filters would have nuked.

The problem is that I can't run my filters on the junk folder, because 
then messages which have been rightly dumped in there would be copied 
out to the folders holding various mailing lists.

Some processing is already carried out before the Bayesian junk 
filtering kicks in, assuming that you've set the options to exempt 
people in your address book(s) from junk filtering.

How about a flag on each filter which signifies whether or not it 
should take precedence over junk filtering? Yes, it would mean a 
little more work to be done (the filter file would have to be read 
twice) but I can't imagine that would be too much of an overhead.

If that's too complicated, then how about giving the user an option 
which to run first, Bayesian filtering or user-written filters?
