In general:

Have all rules that divert mail to folders first.

Delete it from server next.

All others last.

Make sure that every rule also has Stop processing more rules checked,
unless that option is grayed out.

I am getting way to many very cute emails, on a lot of different topics,
all of which contain the word 'Kristine' in the subject or the message. A
number of message rules should work but they don't seem to. I have tried
every variation I can find in the message rule routine (and I have used
many with generally good success) but to no avail.

I realize these message rules are not guaranteed (to put it mildly), but
any new thoughts would be appreciated. I have read over numerous posts on
this list, but so far no luck.

Would appreciate any thoughts - a fooler because it looks like it ought to
be easy.
