When an /allowable action/ is executed is as important as when a filter
is executed. If you move the message first then change the subject, it
will be different than changing the subject and then moving the message.
In addition, PMMail /caches/ some functions such that changes are not
reflected until PMMail is restarted. This may appear to be a /bug/.

This hook operates independent of filters. You would need to /filter/ the
messages from within the script.

Check the order of /allowable action/ execution. Try changing that order.
Try restarting PMMail to see if changes are reflected after running the
filter.
