As opposed to the greyed out "Run filters on folder" the option "Run filters on (selected) message(s)" appears available in the menu but doesn't do anything. I would argue, this makes it an actual bug as opposed to an unavailable feature as described in bug 513657.

(I also thought I read someone describe this option working in the past (as a workaround for bug 513657), but I cannot find that post at the moment so I am unsure.)
