Now this next one is bugging me, and is probably a misunderstanding of
regular expressions on my part
:0:
* (^TO_|From:).*someaddress
somefolder
This one seems to work properly, catching email to or from
someaddress. However:
:0:
* (^From:|TO_).*someaddress
somefolder
doesn't catch those emails _to_ someaddress, so I'm thinking that the
first recipe is also flawed in some way that I don't realize.
Because you're missing your ^ on the TO_. Try:
:0:
* ^(From:|TO_).*someaddress
somefolder
The first recipe is slightly flawed, in that it will act on From:
anywhere in the headers. Unless I'm mistaken, it might catch something
like X-Posting-From: Blah. Putting in the ^ guarantees that it only acts
on that if it's at the beginning of a line.
