	There's your problem. You need to have rules for EVERY message!
	So you should add a line that looks like this:

    >>> always save /home3/t/timewarp/mailbox

	This should be the last rule of your 'filter-rules' file so that
	messages that don't match other rules do get save somewhere.

	You might want to add a -o option to save errors in a file. 
	my '.forward' file look like this:

    >>> "| /usr/local/bin/filter -o $HOME/.elm/filtererr"
