All you have to do is add a final action to your filter to stop processing on that message, and it does not pass through to the other filters. Then order the filters by priority. I had the same complait/problem when I first started using Evolution, but when I was "Educated" in doing this, it actually makes much more sense, and allows you do have more creative filtering. -- William Walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- William Walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
