Defining filter strings
E-mail items are filtered based on the information contained in their 
To:, From:, and Subj: fields. The information that defines what your

them with either a comma or a space. Each word in the filter string is 
joined by an implicit OR, so you do not need to enter logical 
connectors like AND or OR.
