You can create two identical filters, make one do nothing, make the
other move a message to another folder. This will reveal where the
"folder ID" is entered in the FILTERS.LST file and what the code is
for "move message". For example:

test1=DE1=DE0=DE0=DE1=DE<Whole message>=DE@=DE=E1=DE=E1=DE=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE=
0;0;=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE

test2=DE1=DE0=DE0=DE1=DE<Whole message>=DE@=DE=E1=DE=E1=DE=E1=DE13;32700=
;=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE0;0;=E1=DE

See where one filter reads "0;0;" while the second filter reads
"13;32700;" in the corresponding spot?

You can use the same detective work to sort out other details. I do
not have documentation at this time so this is the best advice I can
offer you.

BACK UP YOUR FILTERS.LST FILE BEFORE YOU CHANGE IT! Tinkering with it
is not supported so you do so at your own risk.
