HI Kimmie; No, you are not sounding " a little thick ." If you don't ask the questions, you won't get any answers. For example; If i am wanting to make a message rule for the Jaws-Users list, I would check the " subject " box in step #6 of the steps and, Jaws-Users information that is in all the subject lines of messages that come to this particular list. The info you would use for this list is " [JAWS-Users] ", read what is between the quotes character by character to get an idea of what I'm suggesting. This particular info would be entered in step 11 of the steps.
Now, if you are wanting to use the info in the " from " field, you would check the " from " box in step #6. Then in step #9 you would arrow down to " Where the the from line contains people " or something like that and press enter. Making these rules depends on what criteria you are using, from what field / header in the email. Making these can be a major pain in the you know where and they can be veryy confusing. I started seeing Dr. Phil long before I got to message rules but, message rules took my temporary treatment into eternal treatment! LOL I hope this has helped to explain things a little better to some degree and didn't confuse the hell out of you even further. LOL Take care.

Sorry to come back again, but I must be a little thick here. What do you mean put the name of the subject line in the email? it's just that not all my emails have proper subject lines in them. They might have the name of an artist, or something like that. Sorryif I sound a little thick.
