Re: [Evolution] sticky filter

[Alain Dubois <Alain Dubois hec be>]

Shame on me ! I had a "contains mail.com" rule condition that shoud have
been "is mail.com"...
But I didn't know where and how the rules were stored so I learned
something useful that enabled me to spot the problem.
Thanks to Andre and Stephen for their quick and helpful answer. 

Alain.
