Adding to Steve's list....

The MLM is especially designed for lists. Many people do not know how to use
Rules.  MLM's interface is easier to understand than rules where you have to
select criteria etc.

Rules on the other hand can be a bit tricky. You add a criteria and then
every rule below it might not run.

So, if you use MLM for your lists then save Rules for those special
circumstances that MLM does not cover you'll have less trouble.

When you select "All Rules" to run on messages, MLM runs as well as Junk
mail and Rules.

MLM runs first, then Junk, then Rules. If you have a list in the MLM and
have added it to your address book as MLM asks you to, then no list message
will get filed as Junk.

HTH,

Diane
