[Evolution] Filters (again)

[Matt Nelson <mnelson dynatec com>]

I have been seeing problems with IMAP filtering in evo for a while now
(currently using 2001.11.14.08.58), and would like to get feedback from
the list on it:

I have a filters set up to move mailing list messages into list-specific
messages.  they are, in this order, Evolution list, Red Hat lists, and
Linux Kernel lists.  Many many messages are merrily filtered, but I
always have some stragglers in my Inbox, and can't understand why they
aren't being moved to their proper home.  For example, my Evo filter
will move messages to their folder if any of the following are satisfied
(I keep adding criteria to it in attempts to make it work :)

 Recipients contains evolution ximian com
 Sender contains evolution ximian org
 Recipients contains evolution helixcode com
 Mailing list is evolution
 Specific header To: contains evolution
 Specific header Cc: contains evolution

And yet I just found an unread message in my Inbox with the header

  From:         Eric Lambart <lambart got net>
  To:   Dan Winship <danw ximian com>
  Cc:   Evolution Mailing List <evolution ximian com>
  Subject:      Re: [Evolution] Tab complete email addresses?
  Date:         19 Nov 2001 13:09:52 -0800

Why, oh why didn't this get filtered by the Cc: rule?  I have many other
examples, both for this list and for the others.

I should point out that I have *attempted* to set up server-side
filtering on the MS Exchange server to do my filtering (though I can
never be sure if my rules are server-side or client side, since Outlook
doesn't actually use those terms, tells you that rules *may* live either
place, but doesn't tell you how to figure out where they actually
live... I hate that program...).  Is it possible that Exchange Server
has "touched" the messages, and that prevents Evo from applying rules
(even though they show up in the message pane as unread)?

Thanks for the terrific work - Evo is great.

-Matt
