So I can set up Outlook to take emails that are addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have the words 'gmail' and 'invite' anywhere in the subject line and put it directly in the old bit bucket? Then again, I may not choose to limit this behaviour to just email from this list.
Now, to change the address line of this email, so that I don't send it to the list and annoy anybody else.... (There's a strange man standing behind me.... No! don't press that send button! I haven't changed the To: field yet! Noooooooo.......!)
