enter filters in order of precidence of the mail you want to filter first, put that filter at the top of the list.. then create a filter for the next type which is a subset of what is left in your inbox. I filter bugzilla mail by using '[bug' which pulls all those messages out to a local folder I created called 'bugzilla emails' -dman84
