    In Message Filters under "Apply filter when:" the "Getting New
    Mail:" entry for me is a drop down containing "Filter before Junk
    Classification" and "Filter After Junk Classification".

    My filter setup is the same and I have adaptive junk control active
    as well in both global Junk Settings and Account level settings.
    When previewing an email in the preview window I used to see a lot
    of messages about Thunderbird thinking the email was spam (usually
    when the email source was an IP Address rather than a DNS name), but
    that seems to have disappeared.

    I have the filter for this list and the KDE list categorised by
    From, Cc, Reply, List-ID, List-Id and To as I've seen emails on
    those lists using all those forms. From memory the List-ID and
    List-Id entries I had to add manually to the drop down for them to
    be usable and until I actually looked at the headers from the list
    emails I didn't know that List-ID and List-Id were tags that were
    used.

    I have never used Subject for any mail filter I've created and I
    don't distinguish between emails sent directly to me or global list
    type emails with filtering, I treat everything the same.
