Thanks Cris,
Glo helped me out with instructions such as yours a bit ago, and this is the
first time I finally understood (the light finally came on) and it is
working great. Now comes the task of alll my email being organized like you
just described. I wish I understood message rules before I began genealogy
research. I have hundreds of saved emails in my inbox. I have not counted,
maybe about 2 hundred or so.
I still am not sure though now about how to do message rules but will take
the time to reread emails on it from the group and try to experiment. Then
I will not have to go through all of this again.
thanks,
cristy
