[imp] filtering order

[Michael M Slusarz]

Quoting Gwenn Gueguen <gwenn.gueguen@libertysurf.fr>:

| Hello,
| 
| When filtering messages, "Filter Rules" are applied
| before "Blacklist".
| 
| I thought messages from blacklisted senders would
| be deleted before applying filters...

This is expected behavior.  The filters are applied in the same order that 
they were originally added.  _some_ filter rules may be applied before 
_blacklist_, but this is not always the case.

Blacklist rules are stored exactly the same way as all other filters - the 
only difference is that they are displayed differently.

I believe it has been this way for as long as I remember (when I redid the 
filtering stuff, I'm pretty sure I didn't touch this behavior).  Thus, 
displaying the blacklist rules separately from the other rules has the 
disadvantage of not being able to move the order they are applied.

Comments/concerns/changes?
