Windows Mail Rules

[Fe-Mailed]

I have problems implementing a rule in Windows Mail. I have numerous
subscriptions to various mailing lists. How can I direct all mail coming from
the different mailing lists to go to a specific mailing list folder?

What I initially did was, I created a "LIST" folder. I then made a rule
saying that any email coming from the different email addresses of the
mailing lists to be directed to the "LISTS" folder. It doesn't work 100% as
some of the mailing lists don't like the email address of the mailing list in
the "FROM" section and as such, they still end up outside the "LISTS" folder.
Another problem is, I want replies to my posts in the mailing lists to go to
my "INBOX" and not my "LISTS" folder. I find it a bit difficult as the rules
in Windows Mail is not as thorough as Outlook but I am open to suggestions.

I have also checked the "Stop processing rules" tick box.

Please help!

I am subscribed to several mailing lists, and over the years
have run into some of the same problems. Many mailing lists
do not put their own return address in the 'From' field, instead
they use the return address of the individual poster.
Outlook is capable of filtering on more headers, like the
"Sender" header that many lists use, but Windows Mail (and OE)
can't do that. The only solution I have found is to use a dedicated
email address for mailing lists. That way I can filter on the
receiving account.
