Thanks.  That was the magic incantation I needed.

I am trying to match that with:
if address :contains "from" "Thank you!Kohls"
{
 addflag "\\Seen";
 fileinto "Junk";
 stop;
}

However, the matching portion of the from address is only the section between < and 
>.  Since there are changing sections that are different for each email, I can't use 
that.  I wanted to match the stuff before <.  I have tried numerous formats for the

work?  Thanks,


I did what looked like the right thing in a sieve plugin for roundcube:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/abhpc7rf9rokmfl/junk_rule_for_sieve.png?dl=0


And this is what that created in the script.  Only one word of 
difference from yours -- it looks at the entire From header and not an 
address.


# rule:[testing]
if header :contains "from" "Testing"
{
    addflag "\\Seen";
    fileinto "Junk";
    stop;
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Shawn
