Major email categoy not well handled by MW

[dav4is]

The category is RootsWeb mail list traffic.
These messages follow this format:
TO: (mail list address, e.g. [email protected])
FROM: list subscriber

As these are marked FROM different senders, each new sender requires action by me to mark as OK.
It should be possible to key off the TO address for MW to recognize the format and automatically mark OK.

This format has been around for years and we cannot change it. MW will just have to recognize it.

Just create a filter! Below gives the details:

Code: Select all

  <Filter Name="Filter Name" Enabled="False">
    <MatchAll>True</MatchAll>
    <Rating>100</Rating>
    <Colour>#FFCC0098</Colour>
    <TextColour>White</TextColour>
    <OverrideDelete>False</OverrideDelete>
    <AutoDelete>False</AutoDelete>
    <Rule>
      <Field>To</Field>
      <Operator>Contains</Operator>
      <Type>PlainText</Type>
      <Expression>[email protected]</Expression>
    </Rule>
  </Filter>

It seems to no longer be possible to mark incoming mail as "hidden" from the list -- or, am I wrong?

Just one small word of caution about fully automating messages as "Good". While clearly saving time it can cause you to get spammed if you don't take a look at the overall rating by MWP and tend to not review or pay attention to the subject and content. Today's spammers all to often hijack a legitimate email address and use it freely to spam at will.
