Me too.  I filter most mail direct into folders (for each list, for each 
client, or whatever), then by "To:" (to eliminate the aliases I use when 
filling in silly forms on the web), and only at the end do I filter the html.  
Typically, I rescue one mail in thirty or so from the spamcan, perhaps fewer.  
So it works sweetly enough for me, but of course YMMV.
