Emails from a mailing list usually have a "List-id" header that works 
better for smart mailboxes or rules than the "To" header.

Try changing the condition of the smart mailbox to "List-id" being equal 
to "bbedit.googlegroups.com" (which is the list id of the BBEdit mailing 
list).

You can do this by clicking on the dropdown menu that currently says 
"Recipient (To, Cc, Bcc)", scrolling all the way down to "Other..." and 
filtering the list to find "List-id" and checking that to put it in the 
menu.

Then you should be able to choose it as the condition and set its value 
to bbedit.googlegroups.com

Hopefully that helps.

Another thing is to make sure you are choosing the right Mailboxes in 
the Mailboxes tab.

Finally, you can find the List-id of emails from other mailing lists by 
opening a message from that list, then clicking View > Show Raw Message, 
and looking for the "List-id' header, for example:

	List-Id: MailMate Users <mailmate.lists.freron.com>
