After using your method of trapping a multiple list of senders I find that it is much more "elegant" than I originally thought. It turns out that your method is much easier to use than the "block" method I was attempting to make work. I see that it also finds variations of the address I was adding to the group which would have been missed had I gotten the "block" method to work. So, in sum, a great implementation of one of TB!'s more arcane features. Thanks again. -- Regards, Jack Central Alabama USA The Bat!

Thank you Miguel, that seems to work, if a little Rube Goldbergish. Being able to use the "block" function as part of a condition seems to me to be a little more elegant but since I can't get it to work the way I think it should work, I'll continue to use your method since your method DOES work. Once again, I appreciate your expertise in matters batty. -- Regards, Jack Central Alabama USA The Bat!
