My heartfelt thanks to all who have tried to help me with this problem. I finally did what I should have done in the beginning, namely 'if all else fails, read the instructions.' I was actually able to find the solution by reading TB's HELP section on filters. I learned that when using the ALTERNATIVES tab, each string, which represents a different sender, must be in a 'set' alone because the strings are ANDed when they are all in the same set. I created a different 'set' for each sender and specified kuldges as the place for the filter to look. The filter works just as I wanted. Roelof, your suggestion looked considerably more elegant and I tried to make it work but, alas, it wouldn't. I eliminated ALL the strings and substituted for them just the @ sign. I then defined the AB containing all the senders as a color group and specified this group in the ADVANCED tab. I would have loved to have had this work because of your observation that by simply maintaining the AB, I wouldn't ever have to change the filter as senders came and went. -- Best regards, Jack mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Now running TB! v2.11.02 from Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 - Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
