One more thing to bear in mind: Rules which move messages or run AppleScripts do not allow other Rules to be run on the same messages (they wouldn't be found, or would jam the application), so you need to include all actions within the rule itself, AND move the Rules with more restrictive criteria to the top of your Rules list, above any others which may move them somewhere else first. So these two Mail and Outgoing Auto respond Rules probably need to be at the top of their respective lists, or near them. Just drag them up the Rules list (or use the up-arrow key). Before any of your your own Mail Rules are run on incoming mail, they are first handled by the mailing List Manager (which never lets mailing list messages get marked as Junk) and then the Junk Mail Filter. Uniquely, the Mailing List Manager allows - on the Advanced page - you to Uncheck "Do not apply other rules to list messages". This gives you a lot of options. That particular one is checked by default, so you'd have to uncheck it if you want to. If you haven't investigated the MLM, do so now. It's a great thing. You should make an entry for all your mailing lists. in particular, you'll want to know that you can check "Override the lists default reply behavior" to "Always reply to the list, not the sender". If you check this for the AppleScript users list, you'll never have to think about which keys to press again. You can always just click Reply button, pr press command-R, to reply to all mailing lists, including AS-Users. Option-command-R will _still_ reply to the sender if you want to, and shift-command-R to All. i just check the "Override" option for all mailing lists, so they all behave the same way without my having to think about it. (The only, little, demur, is that if you change your mind after you click Reply and now want to Reply to All, the underlinked option in the message header area which allows you to do this easily does not appear for mailing lists where the Override actually overrides, such as AS-Users. I've asked for this to be fixed for several versions now, but they still haven't fixed it. it doesn't crop up all that often.) -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
