As Laurie said, if a rule works on it's own, but doesn't work when applied
en masse then one of the earlier rules is probably acting on the message
you're trying to apply the non-working rule on. 60 Rules is not too many, I
have about 80 now and they all work fine, but I have had problems after
adding new rules that affect other ones. Pay particular attention to the "If
any criteria are met" and "If all criteria are met" stipulations as well.
And I do wish that Entourage had a logical "OR" function as part of their
rules, this would probably cut the number of rules I use in half.
