Thanks for the feedback Benny.
I went back and did a more thorough search of the archives and based on
some prior advice, I created a smart mailbox just for this purpose. Now
it’s working wonderfully :)

From my testing, this isn't working. If I add the rule to the global
inbox and trigger apply rules, nothing happens, but if I select the
email (or even all emails in inbox) and press apply rules, it works.
Manually applying the rules of the currently selected mailbox requires
selecting the emails. This is expected behavior. (Ideally, there
should be other variants of the Apply-menu item, but that's not
implemented yet.)
1. Where is the ideal place to add a rule like this? global Inbox or
each account's inbox
You might want to add rules to the “smallest” mailbox that you
know includes the messages, but the global Inbox also works. You might
not want to add rules to a lot of different mailboxes if you can avoid
it since there is currently no easy way to see which mailboxes have
rules (other than searching directly in the `Mailboxes.plist` files).
2. Is it necessary that the message be selected for rules to be
applied to it
Only when doing it manually.
3. If not, how often are rules run
Rules are applied when a message is “added” to a mailbox. In
particular, when a message arrives in your Inbox. If a message is then
moved to another mailbox then the rules of this mailbox are applied.
If you think something is not working as intended then write me off
list and we'll debug.
