[X4U] Mail

[DZ-Jay]

Hello:
	Unfortunately, Mail does not have "outgoing" filters, it only filters 
"incoming" mail.  The best way to do it that I have found, and what is 
recommended in the Help file, is to set yourself as a BCC on all 
outgoing messages, and filter them when they come back in.  A copy will 
still remain in the Sent box, but your incoming copy will be sent to the 
mailbox of your choice.

	I feel the same way, and it is something that I consider "basic", which 
is very much missing; along with multiple boolean expressions in filters 
(i.e. all messages that come from X OR from Y, AND have subject Z.)

	dZ.
