Most all groups such as this one have the group name listed in the subject
line. Why not pull your filter criteria from the subject line and you won't
have to worry about things such as misspelled names or when people send to
the group blind which would remove your filter criteria from the To line.
The word "* informant *" is always in the subject line, regardless of the
subject matter, who sent it, or how they sent it.
Just a thought,
Pam
