if (A || B)  (C)

Basically I want to check a message to see if the From line is one of two
possible email addresses. If it is, and if the subject contains a certain
keyword, to file the message into folder.  It looks like the filter
criteria can be strung together as ors or ands, but not a mixture.  

You make simply 2 filters:
1 for A with C
1 for B with C
both with the same action


I Agree that this would solve the problem, but if you had to satisfy a
request like:
if ( A or B or C or D) and (E or F or G or H)
you'd have to generate a good combination of single filters

In addition:
How to combine AND and OR operators in a single filter;
If you want to create a filter with a condition like this:  account is
work account AND (sender is John OR sender is Mark) you can create an
address book group or folder that contains John and Mark, then create a
filter like this:  [account] [is] [work account] [from] [is in group]
[friends]  execute if [all conditions are met]

In case of names A,B,C,D and contents E,F,G,H it makes 4 filters only. ;-)

Is it possible to filter like this:

if (A || B)  (C)
