A real problem with filtering!

When using PMMail on my work machine, I delete some mail after
downloading it but leave other mail on the server.

Now, I have this account set up to ignore mail of >50k in size. I
expect this to be left on the server to collect when I'm at home.

I've noticed that PMMail seems to be deleting the mail on the server
even if it is bigger than 50k. My filter deletes the remote copy then
moves the mail to a given folder, as it should do last to prevent the
filtering stopping before doing the delete. I did not intend this, I
can't work out why PMMail is ignoring the directive about the big
messages, if it finds one it should not trigger the filter with the
deletion directive.

Anyone else found this one? Trevor, any opinions?
