I see; I didn't notice that the filters were chained with ">" in the one 
blue bar.

When I filter by "from:mailinglist at freron.com" and then by 
"Subject:Devonthink" and then remove "Subject:Devonthink" it does return 
me to the results of the "from:mailinglist at freron.com" filter. But if I 
remove the "from:mailinglist at freron.com" filter, it doesn't change the 
results. In other words, it doesn't do an overall "Subject:Devonthink" 
filter with not other filters applied, but rather retains the 
"from:mailinglist at freron.com" silently an inexplicitly.
