Hi John
Thanks for your enlightening feedback !
I expected something like this !!
Well, if one is absolutely sure that its filter settings are error free
and perfect,
then I agree fullest with you ...
... but with only one filter not working properly this feature
complicates the
check and search of mislead e-mails ;-(
Well, I may have to live with this until I get my Lotus Notes on
Ubuntu ;--|
Cheers, svobi
