I'm trying to prevent any html formatted mail message from ending up
in my various folders. The common denominator in all the offending
messages is the content-type. I thought I could just add a filter in
the split methods for this. Here's what I have:
(setq nnmail-split-methods
'(("html-junk" "^Content-Type: multipart/alternative")
("yahoo" "^X-Gnus-Mail-Source.*yahoo\\.com")
("inbox" "")))
Unfortunately, this causes the offending messages to end up in _both_
"html-junk" and either "yahoo" or "inbox". I thought that
nnmail-split-methods worked kindof like procmail: once a rule is
matched it quits appling rules.

(setq nnmail-crosspost nil) is what you are looking for.

No, by default it puts it everywhere it matches the rule. For the
behavior you want, you should say:
(setq nnmail-crosspost nil)
You have to be careful about doing this -- it suddenly means that the
order you have the rules in matters a lot, and mail can end up in an
unexpected place.
