I would add only one suggestion to this set of instructions. I think the
criteria which reads "Where the To or CC line contains people" is a better
choice for filtering since it covers both the To and CC fields.
Unfortunately, there is no choice that covers the BCC field, but
fortunately, there are only a few folks who insist on putting the list
address in this field.
