Hallo Pete,

You're using five conditions. Unless you've setup all conditions as
separate conditions (on the 'Alternate' tab) all of these five
conditions have to met in order to trigger the filter.
Since most of the messages on this list don't have 'bat' in their
subject, the filter is bound to fail.

To process the messages correctly, it's best to filter list messages
based upon a string that's inserted by the list. A example would be:
List-Id: <tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com>
as string, present in the kludges (headers)
Filtering on the list address among the recipients would work too, but
that would have two matches when somebody's sending you the same
message both on and off-list. (Some do.) That's why I prefer to filter
on a string addded by the list server.

All incoming messages? Or only those on this list?
