Subject: Filter bug or ignorance?

I have set up a filter in PC-Pine 4.56 with the following parameters:

Nickname = spam-alltext

Current Folder Type =	Specific
	Folder List =	INBOX
	..also tried:	{<host>/imap/user=<uname>/novalidate-cert}INBOX

AllText pattern =	descrambler, viagra

Filter action =		Move
	Folder List =	spam

However, when I Go to any other folder than INBOX ("sentmail", for
example)  the filter kicks in again and takes action on that other folder!
(that is, all matching messages in "sentmail" get moved to "spam").
Shouldn't it only be taking action on the INBOX folder? Help me Spock.

Could you send the lines from your pine config file that define

    patterns-filters2

While troubleshooting I noticed that there were two "patterns-filters"
entries in the pine config file. However, I did not notice that the second
one had a "2" at the end of it until just now. At the time I deleted the
first entry and moved the second entry up to replace it thinking they were
duplicates.

In any case the problem seems to have disappeared for now.
