4/8/05 Changes

I added these changes, stating that filtering stops after the first filter condition is met, based on my observation as a user, and a little (not comprehensive) testing. I have noted some inconsistencies since making this change in the KB, but have not reported it as a bug, since I have seen no documentation of how this feature is supposed to work. Nor have I changed the KB again, since I don't know how it is supposed to work, and whether the behavior I have observed is a bug, or correct behavior according to rules I can't devine from my samples.

Hopefully someone in the know will see these changes and confirm or correct them to state how the program was designed to work.

BTW, for manual filtering, what I have described has always held true. For automatic filtering, it appears that whether a filter stops the filtering process depends on the actions chosen for that filter.
