[ale] Thunderbird 0.5 Filter issues

[ale at cogginsnet.com (Robert Coggins)]

Hey all,

I am starting to use Thunderbird 0.5 for my email client.  The issue I 
am running to is that my mail filters don't quite work right.

I have 2 rules in one filter for ale. (And it does the same for all 
accounts)  If subject contains *****SPAM***** or if subject does not 
contain [ale] I want to mark it as read then delete it which sends it to 
my Trash folder.  The appropriate mail always goes to the Trash folder 
like it is supposed to but they stay unread.

Has anyone experienced this before or have suggestions to what I might 
be forgetting?

Thanks,
Rob
