Thank you, Sue. It works. Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Sue Barnard Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 8:42 PM To: freebmd-admins@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Filtering FreeBMD-admins mail Dennis, Is the "people" or "contains people" part of that option highlighted in blue? If it is, you should be able to click on it and it will open a new dialogue box where you can enter the FreeBMD information. I haven't tried this on Windows 7, but it works on Outlook Express. Hope this helps!
