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.

Regards,
Adrien
