[MlMt] Utterly baffled by Mailing Lists

[Paul Atlan]

Sorry,
I must be an idiot.

I'm working on my IMAP Inbox.
I've set up an IMAP box called Newsletters next to it.

I've set up the following rule on the IMAP Inbox:
```
All of the following are true:
   Source is in Newsletters Source
---
Move to Mailbox Newsletters
```

But for the life of me I can't get it to work. I've tried using various 
variations on Source (Source / No specifier , Source / Mailto) and even 
the From field (From / No specifier, From / User ) ... to no avail.

Would you have any idea about what I did wrong?

Thanks
Paul.
