After sending the message below, I realize it's way too dense. Also, it's missing a crucial point. I think I can summarize this way:
1. Place focus next to a message that has been posted to this list. do not open it. 2. Press the applications key and arrow up to "rules submenu." Press enter. 3. Down arrow to "Create new rule." Press enter. 4. Now, use the tab and up and down arrow keys through the various options and select the ones that are right for you. You'll need to listen carefully, but the verbalizations are pretty clear. 5. For the address of the list, I typed simply "jfw" into the appropriate edit field.
