After using your method of trapping a multiple list of senders I find that it is much more "elegant" than I originally thought. It turns out that your method is much easier to use than the "block" method I was attempting to make work. I see that it also finds variations of the address I was adding to the group which would have been missed had I gotten the "block" method to work. So, in sum, a great implementation of one of TB!'s more arcane features. Thanks again. -- Regards, Jack Central Alabama USA The Bat!

Thank you Miguel, that seems to work, if a little Rube Goldbergish. Being able to use the "block" function as part of a condition seems to me to be a little more elegant but since I can't get it to work the way I think it should work, I'll continue to use your method since your method DOES work. Once again, I appreciate your expertise in matters batty. -- Regards, Jack Central Alabama USA The Bat!

I need to trap a bunch of ever changing merchandise and/or political ads. Each one is different. I plan to unsubscribe from them all but until I have the time to do I thought I'd just have the filter mark them as READ and move them to the trash folder. I've set the trash folder to limit quantity to 500 and to delete old ones when closing TB!. -- Regards, Jack Central Alabama USA The Bat!
