The filters work and work well.  I am currently using Evo 0.14, but also
had a about 10 filters working at once in 0.13 so the filters worked
there as well.  As per typical with manual input items, check your
spelling in the filter rule as a small error will negate the filter. 
Also if you want to keep the original message from showing up in your
inbox plus your sub-folder, remember to add an action of "stop
processing" to your filter rule after the message has been directed to
the sub-folder.

The fastest way I have found to set up filters for mailing lists is to
open a message from the mailing list in question and then Tools ->
Create filter from message and as long as you have a folder waiting then
all you have to do is add the command to stop processing and your filter
is complete.
