Hi A,
On 12 October 2000 at 15:29:15 GMT -0500 (which was 21:29 where I
live) A . Curtis Martin wrote and made these points on the subject

I'd make that "^Subject.\s*send\W*pgp\W*keys" for best results. The one
you gave above would match "Subject: How do I send someone my PGP keys?"

It seems that moving folders doesn't set the "Save the filters" flag
and they will only get saved if you change something else in them by
hand.

Me! Me! I have two accounts - my main (real) account and one I call
"Anti-Spam". My catch-all spam filter an account (A) moves messages into the
(B) Anti-spam inbox. A further "Read" filter in that account generates a
fake bounce for the original address and sends it.
