Kathryn,

One thing I've done is actually save the "from" as a contact in a special
contact group.  I then say "from" that contact in my book.  That seems to
work.  I have a TON of these for various ezines I get.

I'm going nuts! I've made lots of rules for my email, usually based on
subject line, but sometimes based on the sender's address. Well, I'm now on
a new list and can't for the life of me get the rule to work. If I open the
mail, the "from" has this entire bit:

notify-return-kathryn=bassett.net at returns.groups.yahoo.com on behalf of
PSPImaginarium-II Moderator [PSPImaginarium-II-owner at yahoogroups.com]

I've tried making the rule based on the sender's address including
PSPImaginarium, PSPImaginarium-II Moderator,
PSPImaginarium-II-owner at yahoogroups.com - none works. I've looked at the
headers for the 3 messages I've received so far, and they are as follows:

Note that all 3 have Message-ID:
<1063682142.4655.96635.w18 at yahoogroups.com>, so I tried using that address
as the senders address too, but that didn't work either. (To test, I'm
trying to "run now" on messages in inbox). I haven't wanted to try the
X-eGroups return address because there is nothing there to specify which
group it is, and I have several other yahoogroups. Unfortunately, they don't
use a [shortcut] name in the subject line, so I can't do it that way. This
series of "classes" will be lasting through my trip to SLC and I really need
to filter into the Paint Shop Pro folder. Anybody have any ideas?
