Let's try this once more with a little modification. There was also
a question about what happens when someone from your family sends a
message to a group of people. This filter will not pick that up, since
the message wasn't sent directly to you. Do *not* be tempted to use the
"Where the To or CC line contains people" rule as that defeats
the power of this filter. Create a new filter with that person's email
address in the "Where the From line contains people" rule
and that will correctly pick up email by them.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Here's a little trick to filter
your mail in Outlook Express 6 (and probably 5). Follow the instructions
and you'll soon be filtering your email like a superstar:<br><br>
1. Open Outlook Express <br>
2. Make sure the Folders list can be seen on the left-hand panel.
<br>
3. Right-click on "Local Folders" and select "New
Folder...". <br>
4. Give this folder a descriptive name like Incoming or Direct.
<br>
5. Click on "Tools" in the top menu bar. <br>
6. Select "Message Rules" and click on
"Mail...". <br>
7. Click on "New..." to create a new message rule. <br>
8. Under box 1, select the first entry "Where the <b>To</b>
line contains people". <br>
9. Under box 2, select the first entry "Move it to the
specified folder". <br>
10. Under box 3, click on "people". <br>
11. In the window that pops up, type in your e-mail address. So,
blah@yourdomain.com<br>
12. Click OK <br>
13. Click "specified" in box 4. <br>
14. Select the folder we created in step 4 above. Click OK. <br>
15. In box 4, rename this rule to something more pleasing like
"Sneaky Only-for-Me Filter" or "l33t m41L h4Ck" or
perhaps the prosaic "Direct delivery filter". <br>
16. Click OK. <br>
17. Click OK. Or, click the name of the rule and Apply Now to filter
right away.<br>
