A filter without conditions won't be triggered by any message, what you need is a filter that's triggered only by message list messages. My suggestion would be to add all list addresses to a single address book group and and check whether the To header is part of that AB group. And forget about 'continue processing with other filters', that's not necessary here, neither in the parent nor in the sub-filters. What the 'continue...' option does, is taking care that after a message triggers a filter, it will be checked against other filters too. Remember that when a message doesn't trigger a filter, it will be checked against the next filter until it's run out of filters or finds a match. Off hand I can't think of any example where using 'continue processing' isn't contra-productive. P> Would this be a 'proper' way to configure a filter? Not quite.

It would work. A few notes. You're testing against the 'Envelope-to:' header, my guess is that that's added by your ISP and it mentions the intended recipient. When somebody sends you an off list message to your list address that will be sorted to your list folder. In itself not a big issue, but your reply to it might be coloured differently when you'd realize that it's a private message. Therefore I wouldn't filter on the address it has been sent to, but I'd use a header that's added/altered by the list. My personal preference is to use the Reply-To header, but most lists add something like a List-Id header too, so you could also use that. -- Groetjes, Roelof What youth deemed crystal, age finds was dew. http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 4.2.6 Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6001 Service Pack 1 6 pop3 accounts, 1 imap account OTFE enabled Quad Core 2.4GHz 4 GB RAM
