Thunderbird filtering drafts?

I recently face the problem that I answer an e-mail which is filtered, my answer gets saved into the draft folder on the IMAP server and then for some reason a message filter catches it and moves it to the same folder where the message that I am answering resides.

Is there a way to prevent Thunderbird to run message filters on the drafts folder?

(I am using Thunderbird 24.3.0)


As of October 2016, the problem seems to be fixed.

Just made a try with version 45.4.0 and it seems to be fixed.
Filter is not applied when Autosave is called.
There's only one copy of the saved document in the Drafts folder after multiple autosave.

I'm using TB50 and this thing just happened to me.
I worked around it by adding a "sender is not me" condition to my filter.
I have quickFilters module installed.
