Rules and ignoring certain posts

Also, what exactly does "Stop processing more rules" mean? I have

"Stop processing more rules" is a bit of a misnomer that used to
confuse me too. It doesn't really mean "Stop processing more rules."
It' means "Stop processing more rules with THIS message."
For example, let's say you have two rules:
1. Mark everything with "quintessential" in the subject line green.
2. Delete anything with "aardvark" in the subject line.
If you don't include "Stop processing more rules" in the first rule,
anything with "quintessential aardvark" in the subject line is going
to get deleted (after it's marked green).
Thanks. Sorry it took so long to get back here.
