Since the subject lines in email sent to lists do not contain the name of the list in most cases, a fact for which I'm very glad, you should not use the subject field for constructing a rule. In step 6, arrow to where the to or cc field contains. Then in step 11, type in the list address, for example, jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The only time the rule will fail is when someone insists on using the bcc field, which gives me an excuse to delete their message without reading it.

If I create a folder for jfw@freelists will all the messages from the list go into this folder?

However, I recommend following this instruction not in the list of messages, but in the "local folders" area, which you get to by arrowing up once from the inbox. Otherwise, you create a new subfolder under the folder where you have focus. ----- Original Message ----- From: G.W.
