I've followed your instructions but when I go to create a rule it only gives me the option of sending the email address where I opened the rule to a folder and not a catch all of JFW as you suggested. What am I doing wrong?

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.
