Outlook 2003 Junk Filter vs. User Rules

J

I check multiple email accounts with Outlook 2003, and
use a rule to move some of my incoming mail to an
appropriate subfolder. This works fine, but apparently,
the Junk Filter runs before my move rules do, so mail
that is marked as junk is taken out of the Junk folder
and moved to my sub-folder! I've actually watched this
happen - having the Junk folder open when a message is
received - the filter correctly marks it as Junk, it pops
into the Junk folder for a second, then *poof*, it moves
to my subfolder.

Is anyone aware on a way to a) make my rule not check
mail in the Junk folder, b) stop processing further rules
once they're marked as junk, or c) make the Junk filter
run after my rules?

This question comes up quite a bit. No fix at the moment.
Hopefully the next Service Pack will address this.

You can run the rules manually to overcome this.
