Aha - so I had to set that property that says stop processing rules if ths one applies. I've seen that in Outlook, have to see if it's in Outlook Express as well.

Unless you tell it not to process any other rules, it'll move it to the Cappex folder, and then move it to the Rocky folder. You'll probably find that anything you send to her will end up in the Cappex folder now.
