What your "From" rule is saying is: "move to file montage, anything that
has the line starting "From: ", followed by any characters, which are then
followed by "gordy@" followed by any other characters.
First off, the trailing .* is superfluous. Secondly, the space in front
of "gordy@" is going to be difficult to match, since it comes behind the
.* character gobbler. Lastly, it's not a bad idea to escape the @-sign
with a backslash.
I believe that you'd have more success with:
* ^From:.*gordy\@
