Hi Roelof, thanks so very much for your help. i was able to create the file like you advised.
one problem that I am now having is that the filter rule seems to run only on "read" messages in the folder. is there any way i can have it apply for the "unread" messages as well without having to mark all the emails in the folder as "read"? Also, in the sorting office, the options for creating filters are under "incoming mail", "outgoing mail", "read mail", and "replied mail". is there any way to create one filter rule that applies to both read and unread mail? u -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
