Do you use the quotation marks when you do this. I do. MSG> This last one filtered out two English messages which I examined MSG> looking at the full headers.

It needs to be first so that other filters don't catch the messages before this one gets at them. MSG> If I use pipes for an "or" condition, Just use the alternative string search fields this. For 'and' conditions, just use the 'ADD' string button on the initial filter setup page.

No. Spaces are unnecessary and may lead to problems since they're characters in their own right. For example the first string you proposed should be "�|�". MSG> Should there be quotes around the characters I want to use for the MSG> filter? Enclosing a string in quotes makes the string case sensitive. I don't see where you need to enclose them in quotes. - -- Allie C Martin -- List Moderator PGPKey - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________ [MUA: TB! v1.54 RC/1 (*) OS: Windows XP 5.1.2600] �� -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6-2 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAjyZQdIACgkQV8nrYCsHF+LdjQCgqup5Ayzz6X0BVFk8Genv5v8A ZjwAoMWW8lQvW4RdCOzAEkyYErRYZbxH =kOSk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
