Subject:      FILLER: Sorry, Eudora Filters, Take #2

[just in case someone tried the stuff I sent to the list a while ago
and got frustrated...I was wrong in practice, although correct in
theory.  sigh!]

1.  There is a "known bug" in many versions of Eudora (fixed in later
versions, so I'm told) related to To: Contains: Name1 AND To:
Contains: Name2 (the only reason I know this is that I confirmed the
bug on my system, reported the bug and was shown that a later version
than the one I have no longer displays this).  The recommendation here
was that I upgrade...

2.  The workaround: do To: Contains: name1, name2.  Order is not
important.  (and yes, I've confirmed this works with my version of
Eudora 2.2 under win95--your mileage may vary)

3.  Tests show that the To: ... AND Cc: filters do the job on messages
with that kind of addressing.

So, a complete set of filters to catch double-addressed messages:

a.  To: Contains: person AND Cc: contains: writers@mitvma.mit.edu
b.  To: Contains: writers@mitvma.mit.edu AND Cc: contains: person
c.  To: Contains: person, writers@mitvma.mit.edu
d.  Cc: Contains: person, writers@mitvma.mit.edu

d is probably optional, since it means someone sent it To: another
name, then tagged on the individual and writers as a Cc.  Could
happen, but seems unlikely.
