With Mozilla, the filters can be in whatever order you wish. Click Tools
> Message Filters. Highlight a filter. At the middle of the page, in
the right margin, there are buttons labeled Move Up & move Down. Click
the appropriate one until the filter you have highlighted is in the
relative position that you desire, then highlight another one and repeat
the process. When you have got them in the order that you want them,
close the window! They will stay that way!

I am sure that you have done some experimentation in the past. Explore
the features of Mozilla! Make sure that you have SET MOZILLA_HOME=
defined in your CONFIG.SYS, preferably to a directory OTHER than where
you have installed the current release. That way, you don't have to mess
with your profiles, filters, plugins, etc. with each new release.
