*BZZZZZZZZZT*
The reason this doesn't work is that the filter sets up some "deliveries".
Unseen save does not process the save at the point it is read, but sets up
extra things that will be run through the routers and transports. The
transport will be the thing that actually determines how the "save" is done.
${run...} must happen during the execution of the system filter, in order to
enable the lookup to complete.
Hopefully this explains it better.
