Thanks again Roelof,

That's one of the first things I checked but my filters still don't
work. AFAICT, these two are the only one that do not - but then they
are the only filters I have that don't filter on either the sender or
subject line.

I'm going to change my mail delivery route soon to bypass the server
that added the "certain header", so I've now deleted that filter
leaving only the one that should filter on date. Unfortunately, as you
say, TB seems to assess the age of a message from the date received
not the date apparently created, and I need to filter on the latter.
Spammers send a lot of messages with the creation date in the past. I
suspect they do this to get past spam reporting tools that won't
report messages more than a few days old.

Whatever, I sort messages by date created, not date received. So these
"old" messages get shoved to down the list and I need to use
Ctrl+Alt+Right to get to the next to delete it. Unfortunately, I've
just changed laptop and the video driver intercepts Ctrl+Alt+Right
and interprets this as an instruction to change the orientation of the
screen image so that it's on its side! I know there are work-arounds,
but this is infuriating and I can't find a way to turn it off in the
video driver :(
