You get a copy of everything in your mymailbox folder in the first case

doesn't match on anything else in the rc file, it will be delivered to your
default mailbox. Whereas in the second case, if it is NOT an ANNOUNCE, the
message will fall through the first nested condition and be caught by the
second. If it IS an ANNOUNCE, the first nested condition will catch it, and
the copy will be caught by the second.

Thanks for the explanation.  This is a subtlety that I had not considered
(nor encountered until now).
