Harry, thanks for replying. This is what I have:
* A folder called “SubjectSenderFilter”. This is a regular folder
where I put messages that I want to filter. It has two messages in it:
* From: “Amazon Subscribe & Save”, Subject: “Review your upcoming
delivery”
* From: “Robert Wall”, Subject: “Your Invoice”
* A smart folder with two rules, “All” need to be true:
* From->Name is in “SubjectSenderFilter” From->Name
* Subject is in “SubjectSenderFilter” Subject
I sent myself a test message:
From: “Robert Wall”, Subject: “Review your upcoming delivery”
In other words, deliberately using a sender from one message and a
subject from another. My smart folder matches my test message, and it
shouldn’t.
The whole idea of this is that I can throw random messages that I get
repeatedly in this folder, so it auto-moves them - but that doesn’t
work if I can’t ensure “from” and “subject” are matching the
same message.
Any thoughts?

Hi Robert,
The concept you’re going for seems workable with M-M Rules, but I
haven’t had reason to do it.
The example you give seems to ultimately make a mailbox for a specific
“file cabinet” related to three things (all the “AND”
statements), so you start with a rule sorting unique subjects and
another rule that sorts by sender. These could be separate rules or
concatenated ones. The co-dependence issues will determine if you
really need multiple folders or not. Seems to me you don’t in
MailMate.
With those hints, I’ll leave you to it. Good Luck.
Respectfully,
Henry Seiden

I basically want to write a rule that says:
if (
(subject) is in folder “target” AND
(from) is in folder “target” AND
(subject) and (from) are from the same message
) then (
file (message) in folder “filecabinet”
)
So if these two messages are in “target”:
From: Bill Jones
Subject: Important Information Regarding Your Account
From: Dave Smith
Subject: Your Receipt For Your Recent Transaction
and I get another message that matches one of them dead-on:
From: Bill Jones
Subject: Important Information Regarding Your Account
I want it filed, but a message with a mixed match of subject/from:
From: Dave Smith
Subject: Important Information Regarding Your Account
shouldn’t automatically be filed, because the matched subject
isn’t from the correct sender.
I’m guessing this isn’t possible, but I wanted to see if anybody
has any brilliant ideas. :)
