Thanks Ingo, I started to suspect something like that might be the case. 
But I can not really see that as a bug, it is more a matter of what 
takes priority. The rule for an Identity or the rule for a folder? I 
guess from my opinion the folder should "overrule" the Identity but 
others may differ.

Anyone feel like giving their vote on this? Should I file this as a bug 
or consider it proper implementation of rules?
