Hi,
I have found that using the subject line for rules is not very consistent
with these lists, even when I've made sure I have copied exactly the tag. I
have found it more useful to select "where the to or cc field contains" and
select the list address, but there's no harm in either approach.
Occasionally, the odd message seems to get missed!
Cheers
Dave
