Well, I was going to do this as well, but it appears that Ivan beat me to
it. So it is the filtering itself, not just the filters that file messages.
The headers of every single message processed by a filter are getting copied
and then lost.
The really disturbing thing is: if the "lost headers" aren't in the In/Out
box soup, and aren't assigned to any soup, then how are they staying around?
Very scary. :)

I wasn't having this problem at all when I was filtering my NewtonTalk
messages. New messages in the NewtonTalk folder that I read would stay in
the NewtonTalk folder - my "File read messages in" preference is set to
"Unfiled Items."
