Go and give a listen to my 11 minute audio tutorial on creating message rules. In there you will find that I always recommend using the subject line where available because it never fails.

I always use the single item that covers the contents of the To or Cc line and then use the list address. Why don't you want to use that? I use that for every list to which I'm subscribed. I would never use the contents of the Subject line. - Original Message - From: "David Ingram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 2:39 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] How do i create the new message rule for this list?

It's not a problem to use the subject line, if it contains a standard prefix. [jaws-users] is the prefix David set for this list, so it never fails in a message rule. If this isn't the case on other lists, then the, to, and cc fields would be a better choice.

[JAWS-Users] Re: How do i create the new message rule for this list?
I also prefer to use "where the to or cc line contains..."; and don't always use the full listname, as sometimes people nickname groups to which they belong. Also, you can get spam messages masquerading under familiar subjects. I also have a folder for spam messages, where "undisclosed", or "None", or "recipient..." and some other words are the criteria in the To or CC line. Experience is a good teacher here. - Original Message - From: Ricque To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 9:10 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: How do i create the new message rule for this list?

And what if someone on another list forwards something from a list where you're using the content on the Subject line? That's exactly what I want to avoid, which is why I never use it as a filter trigger.

[JAWS-Users] Re: How do i create the new message rule for this list?
Well, in the first place, forwards are inappropriate for this list, and should be for any list. Secondly, the subject prefix is designed to cut out spam, but everybody is free to choose the way they want to set up message rules. Any good list manager, or owner, will put a prefix in place and leave it. The one thing to keep in mind is, that rules are made to be followed, and so when posters to lists that I'm on don't post in accordance with my message rules, I don't see their messages. It has been my understanding that when it comes to posting to e-mail liststhat proper etiquet should be practiced: No forwards No carbon copies No group distribution If everybody followed these simple rules of conduct, then all lists, and message rules would work so much better.

[JAWS-Users] Re: How do i create the new message rule for this list?
Thing is, not everybody follows - or will follow - these rules. People wilfully post messages that they know are off-topic, for example. They will also forward seasonal messages and jokes because they want to ... share them! ... The messages anyway will get to your Inbox, will they not? Spammers are using all kinds of subject lines to spam messages now. In the past, there have been occasional spam messages addressed to jaws listservs, because of the word "JAWS". (Debbie Scales was fair and strict as a moderator, but even she couldn't prevent the occasional spam message from getting to all on that list.) Anyway, the creating of messages rules and preferences in how to make them are matters of personal taste and use/experience. Human nature being what it is ... The 20th-century proverb, if you like, was, "rules are made to be broken". - Original Message - From: Ricque To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2006 11:08 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: How do i create the new message rule for this list?
