Thanks for all the input. The keep it simple approach seems to have worked.
I used Rick's suggestion and it is working!!!!

I use the same "rules" in Outlook 98 for both PCSOFT and
PCBUILD as does
Rick and they work just fine. Keeping things as simple as
possible always
works best.
Good Luck,
Fred Hahnel

Maybe it requires too much "fine tuning" to do this on a
list...
I have eight different rules I use that sort all my mail. I
keep it fairly
simple.
I found one line in OutLook98 "Help" that might explain why
your rules fail.
"A rule is not applied to a message if any one of the
exceptions you
specify is met." The only trouble is, I can't see why your
rules fail
for PCSOFT and PCBUILD...
The following are much simpler "rules" I use from Outlook
Express5/Win95b.
The rules and "operands" (they are Boolean searches, right?)
are
much more complex in OutLook 98. (I have both, and looked.)
I construct my "rules" by hand after looking at the "header
information"
of the messages I want to filter. That Wizard thing in
OutLook98 is
over-kill for hiding what you are doing. (IMHO.)
The following are based on their simplicity. No negatives,
or exceptions.
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the To line contains [log in to unmask]
Move it to the PCSOFT folder
and Stop processing more rules
Apply this rule after the message arrives

and Stop processing more rules
Those rules work because the list(s) seem to BCC: the
members.
This was not much help, I know, but it could be a start...
