Sorry to but in here, but I am going to agree with the addition to
[cf-talk] or something to identify this. And I'll tell you why, most of
us are windows based users. Out of all these the majority would be using
a MS product for their email whether it be Outlook or Outlook Express.
Yes it supports rules, however MS has a very annoying bug where every
now and then one of two things happens.
1) You are just receiving email, you close the program down and not
realized that the program was doing this. Every so often the program
keeps running in the background, what will 90% of the time happen is
that all this email coming in will go directly into the inbox and
because you have closed outlook there are NO rules to be run.
2) When you open outlook it will sometimes, for no apparent reason or
even any form of pattern that I can find as yet! Where the rules get
ignored all together, now to resort the thousands of email I get this is
very painstaking to move around having to click on each message and look
at the sent to field to determine which of the 200 folders to put it
into!!
Now most would not be affected by those 2 scenarios, however I find that
outlook does do the above on a regular basis on 9 machines that I have
sat at and even software wise that is installed before or after is not
even remotely the same in most cases.
Point, well the point is if you had to do the above. It would be very
easy to look at the header and move in groups rather than one by one!

As a suggestion, if you are using an email client that handles rules you
can
set up a rule to filter into a different folder. That's what I've been
doing since I subscribed back in January and it works quite well.
