Thanks for the help Paul. That seems to work. But now I have to go fix my
other filters that I had like the one below. So I need a little more
information about what you listed below.
I have other email address that are first name, last name, and so on. So
how do I add those in there? Would something like this be adequate?
*(tim(h|othy(.holmes)|.holmes))?|tdh)@(domain1|domain2).com
Would that line pull out emails sent to
timh@
tim@
tdh@
timh.holmes@
timothy.holmes@
timothy@
Just want to make sure I completely understand this so I can then complete
these filters. Thanks a lot for the help.

| This basically matches wither timh or tdh at any of the domains.
|
| What you probably want is:
|
| *
^From:.*(timh?|tdh)@(domain1.com|domain2.com|domain1.net|domain1.org|domain2.org)
|
| which basically says that the 'h' is optional. Question marks indicate
| that the preceding "atom" may be repeated 0 or 1 times. An atom is
| either a character, or a block of regexp enclosed in round brackets.
| So "timh?" is the same as "tim(h)?", but "tim(h)" equals "timh".
