I'm redirecting this with the following update: The self as sender = yellow filter was moved up the line & the continue filtering option checked so that when the message was filtered to the TBUDL folder is was already yellow. That did it. Nothing new follows. Hello net5zero & other fellow TB! Users, Tuesday, October 31, 2000, JM asked: JM> To code your own messages in TBUDL yellow -- how to do that? Do JM> you have to create a separate filter (from that of TBUDL)? It's an incoming mail filter (for all incoming mail, not just TBUDL) and appears to be functioning erratically in the TBUDL folder so maybe I should do one for TBUDL separately (I notice that it says to move messages from inbox to inbox). But the important thing is this: For some reason I had to duplicate the "Rule" to "Alternatives"; that is: my user name as string in sender & yes (present) That was done in both "Rule" & "Alternatives" (which made it work, although checking it out, it's working inconsistently - I'd have to play with further - look at cases where it's not kicking in & add alternatives). The actions are "mark as read" and "set color group to yellow" (light yellow). However, if I right click on a message and type: G+Y, it gets yellow immediately; so I haven't taken the time to figure out why it doesn't always work. I should probably have one for the TBUDL folder specifically, in addition to the one that direct all TBUDL mail to it. Hope that helps.
