Message Filter with Except Condition
I need to write a Filter for incoming emails that automatically moves all the items from a specific sender to a specified folder *except* if a specific word is in the Subject line... in which case I want it to pass the filter and go to the Inbox like a normal piece of email. I have no problem setting up the first part -- Match the following: From contains "X", Move Messages to Folder "Y". But how do I make it say "Except if Z is in the Subject line"?
Thanks!

You could create two filters. The first one detects the sender and the "escape" word and does nothing to the message, just halts processing of filters. The second one then can detect the same sender and do the move. The second one runs only when the first filter hasn't triggered.
I'm not sure if I have understood your logic, but you could try:
match all the following
sender is <sender> subject doesn't contain <escape word>
move message to <folder>
..so messages from this sender with the escape word in the subject line won't be moved.
