My copy of that message shows Dave copied you directly, you’re probably looking at that version which is why there are no associated list headers.
You don’t need three separate filters. I attached a screenshot of the rules I set way back earlier in the thread. (as have others) the tl;dr is you just set three ‘any’ conditions, one each on To, CC, and From ‘contains’ ‘gnucash-user’ then either tag or file away as desired. You could probably even manage something that pre-pends the [GNC] if you like. It’s not difficult. We’re all people using double entry accounting for crying out loud. If we can manage that, we can manage e-mail filtering and tagging.
