Hi Batsters....
This is my reply to Adam regarding his Filter question. TB List was
down over the weekend and I have noticed the growing questions
regarding filters in the list and thought these replies might help:

Hi there... my message to you early this morning didn't seem to
make it to the TB! list, so here it is. If you wish to forward it to
the list that is fine, as it may help other users...but here ya go:

It has been my experience with TB! for almost 4 years, that when you
create filters via right-click, you have to ALSO click the
"override existing filters" box. Let me explain:
Go into your filter settings for that particular account. Look for the
two filters you mentioned creating. They're near the bottom, right?
Well, TB! 'reads' the filters from top to bottom. If you have a
filter (we'll call this Filter1) set to filter email sent to a specific
email address showing in the list ABOVE a filter set for a
specific sender (Filter2), if a person sends to the email address
you set in Filter1, Filter2 will not be recognized because it is not
"overridden".
Simple solution is to go into the Filter Settings for that account,
click on Filter1 so it is highlighted, and then click the "MOVE DOWN"
button until it is BELOW Filter2. TB! will then read the filter you
set for the SENDER first, and THEN it will read the one you set for the
Specific-Email-Address. Then find the email you wished to have
filtered, move it back into the Inbox for the account you re-set the
filters for and re-filter your messages. The email should be filtered
properly.
