Try virtual folders. Set up the first one with 'subject matches' and
another virtual folder to match on "sender matches 'stevetucknott*' OR
sender matches 'joebloggs*'".
Then create a third virtual folder which matches on everything, but only
select the two previously created virtual search folders. That should do
it.
