​It is and I prefer to have my filters as tight as possible.

But it was my newsreader that was caching things. I saw a lot of spam from
this sender. So I added it and ran applyfilter. But next messages where
still displayed.

Most of the times the next message is deleted when I go to it, but I now
found out​

​that it can be buffered.

So next time I should leave the group filter and then enter the group
again.​


They work fine.  Also, is the leading <TAB> just for clarity or really in
