JR: Ming Li, I must confess to being completely confused
now. I thought the rules were divided by "ands" unless
separated by the "|" command in which case "or"
conditions would apply. And when an alternative was
offered to a rule it was this rule *or* this alternative
or this alternative, etc. What's the difference between
what I set up & what you set up?
Are you saying that TB! sees the above as this rule
*and* this alternative or this other alternative?
So should I have set up the rule as:
Rule move messages to folder trash
Strings Location Present
[EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Jan Rifkinson recipient no
Are you saying that the way I *had* it originally set up
was move to trash if recipient is *not*
[EMAIL PROTECTED] *and* is not [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Jan
Rifkinson?

Yes, this filter is @ the absolute bottom of my filter
list.
