I think its due to a space in the name so while you specify first and
surname whatever scanning routine the bat uses decides the name part
is finished when hitting the 'space'.
In short you filter is never met as being correct.
No idea what the real reason is but I complained about it ages ago,
nothing was done and the best you CAN do is filter on email and forget
the name of whom it refers to in the filter....
Best regards,
