The "to" field checks the "Cc:", too.
Example:
	if (to contains foo) then delete

Maybe my settings are wrong, as one particular mail list is filtered 
great if it is in the To line, but does not get filtered at all (and thus 
goes into the Inbox) when it is in the Cc line.

ELM's filter has a bug with this as it only checks "Cc:" but not "cc:".
A patch is available on page
	http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/elm/patches/#filter

This must be the 1000th time I am posting this.
And ELM's filter is dropped by the developers, anyway.

Folks - please use procmail!  It has better support.
Even though the siyntax for filter rules are not
as nice as with ELM's filter.

If you still want to use ELM's filter then PLEASE read the page
