[MlMt] Compound "is in" rule ... ?

[Robert Wall]

Harry, thanks for replying. This is what I have:

* A folder called “SubjectSenderFilter”. This is a regular folder 
where I put messages that I want to filter. It has two messages in it:
	* From: “Amazon Subscribe & Save”, Subject: “Review your upcoming 
delivery”
	* From: “Robert Wall”, Subject: “Your Invoice”
* A smart folder with two rules, “All” need to be true:
	* From->Name is in “SubjectSenderFilter” From->Name
	* Subject is in “SubjectSenderFilter” Subject

I sent myself a test message:

 From: “Robert Wall”, Subject: “Review your upcoming delivery”

In other words, deliberately using a sender from one message and a 
subject from another. My smart folder matches my test message, and it 
shouldn’t.

The whole idea of this is that I can throw random messages that I get 
repeatedly in this folder, so it auto-moves them - but that doesn’t 
work if I can’t ensure “from” and “subject” are matching the 
same message.

Any thoughts?
