what I put in the recipes.  At the moment these two recipes are in place:
:0

* (^From|^To|^Subject): .*(Janome|embroidery|Embroidery|emblibrary|
empressmills)
${MAILDIR}.INBOX.Sewing/

:0

* ^From: .*Debra\@emblibrary.com
${MAILDIR}.INBOX.Sewing/

You have a space character in both recipes which should not be there.
Try:

 * (^From|^To|^Subject):.*(Janome|embroidery|Embroidery|emblibrary|

and

 * ^From:.*Debra\@emblibrary.com

OK, I've made the change.  Now I wait a few days for the next message :-)

Funny, though.  All my recipes have a space there, and the others all work.

I cut from my reply the header information you quoted, so here it is
again:

Received: from mail.emblibrary.com ([69.54.45.82]) (envelope-from 
<Debra(_at_)emblibrary(_dot_)com>)
from: Debra(_at_)emblibrary(_dot_)com
subject: Feather Your Nest - New at Embroidery Library!
X-Envelope-From: Debra(_at_)emblibrary(_dot_)com

With a regexp of
  ^From: .*Debra
it will not match
  from: Debra(_at_)emblibrary(_dot_)com
because it is expecting 'from:' followed by one space, followed by one
'any' character, followed by zero or more 'any' characters, followed by
'Debra', &c.  If you had either  from: Debra  or  from:.*Debra  it would
match.  This is because there is only one character between  from:  and
Debra  and your regexp is expecting at least two.

I hope that helps.


Cheers,
       Nick.
