Is there a way to see what Mail.app is doing when it scans messages for rule firing? I have a rules that download bank statements when I get an email from my bank. Since I have multiple accounts, I rely on the account number in the email message. I have a number of rules, each having a filter that says
Message content contains The statement for your account ending in XXXXX is available online for viewing
where XXXXX is the particular account number. The problem is that the first rule always fires no matter what account number is in the message.

Simplify it to
& add 'Stop evaluating Rules' as your last action in the Rule.
Or, if the number may possibly occur in other emails, make the rule.
Adding 'Stop evaluating Rules' is a sensible precaution for all rules that should stop at that point.
