I'm searching in Sender, and depending on where Stell sends messages 
from, 'stell' could appear at the start, or in the middle of the text, 
and may not have a preceding space.

The filter filters out mail from Stell along with a number of other 
people (amongst whom Kestell is not one!). So I need the OR condition 
not the AND condition.

I think what is needed are either Reg Ex's (which I have voted for), 
or alternatively boolean pattern matching such as Alta Vista uses in 
it's advanced search. I think the latter would be good for non-power 
users, but obviously could be a subset of the regex's (perhaps 
selectable through preferences).
