newsgroup

[Pan, Tony C (CRD)]

I have actually discovered a rule that seems to work too in outlook:

"check message on arrival with "specific word" == "vtk" in recipient and move to folder whatever."

Sorry about the earlier message, that was just me speaking before checking all possibilities, and
thanks to all that endured.

Tony (and other Outlook users)

  The following seems to work very well for me. Create a rule that searches for "This is the private
VTK discussion list" in the body of the message".
