Yes. We've agreed on this on many occasions in the past. The filtering system will be redesigned. I don't think that design remain in the new interface. RR> ....

I'd assume that you put one address in the filter string dialog under the 'rule' tab and then put the others as strings under the 'alternative' tab.

I tried right clicking on the RR> folder and selecting filter and selected the manual filter only RR> (plus checked all the types..read, etc.) but it doesn't work. You need only check the filter set in which you created the filter. If it was an inbox filter then only enable inbox. RR> I'm guessing that it only will filter on messages in the inbox? No. Once you apply the filter manually, it will work on any folder. RR> I know I must just be screwing something up. I suspect it may be that you didn't set the filter to active or your string entry setup is faulty.

You're not the first to bring this up. I've personally brought it up, as well as others. Usually, if you make something like this known to the developers, it'll eventually be fixed ... just not necessarily later this week, or even next month. :) RR> 4) As a side note to the above it would also be nice of having a RR> cleaner way to add a long filter string of OR type expressions RR> vs having to type it all as one long line separated by carets RR> (|). Actually, you can. You could enable regular expressions under the options tab and use the format: (address1|address2|address3|address4|address5...) I also see this in the help: ,-----[ begin ]----->> | | Pipe character "|" can be used when the signal string contains two | alternatives. For example, string John|Jack means that the filter | will search for John OR Jack in the specified location. If either is | present, the search is successful. If neither are present, the | search fails. | '-----[ end ]-----|| I don't know if it will only for two alternatives or if you can string them along as I have done with the initial method above. - -- Allie C Martin \ TB! v1.62/Beta1 & Windows XP Pro List Moderator / PGP Key - http://pub-key.ac-martin.com ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE9b1RRV8nrYCsHF+IRAnOLAJwJzQ/baXVZUhQ+D6EXSZWYNvK7UwCg0aKl sCwQjzennNaBcIOmTeA+VUQ= =194A -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
