Subject: Setscrores / filter questions / munging

Hmm, I'm now on 4.33..  I've got a few problems that I'm seeing, and
while they're probably answered in the online help I sure am not seeing it.

1) In a SetScores rule, does it *and* the separate header lines?  I realize
that it *ORs* multiple items in a specific header line.. i.e. ANY of the
items in a To header line matches means the rule matches..

But if I fill in items in To and CC, I guess it has to match BOTH to
be a match?  I guess that's an obvious question now, but with the "simplicity"
of pine's filters, it wasn't completely obvious at first.

1a) It would be great if there were an easier way to copy a whole ton of items
from a To line to a CC line..  I realized sometimes people respond to a person
and CC the mailing list.. so I was getting some wrong suspected spam.

But I guess I *really* have to make one rule that matches To, one rule that
matches CC, and somehow copy all of the items from the one To to the other's
CC.

2) Today, filters are doing something weird to my messages, like duplicating
the headers in them.  Or maybe it's my manual saving back to INBOX.

I'm getting a whole set of headers that are shown when I do NOT have
show all headers..  (then showing headers of course shows the full headers
on the message too.)   For several messages, I ended up with blank subject
lines..  I think they were being re-filtered after I saved them back into
INBOX and getting munged multiple times.

Nope, there's an easier way.  Instead of using To: or Cc:, use the Recip
pattern:

                                 Recipient Pattern Explained

This is just like the "To pattern" except that it is compared with the
addresses from both the To: line and the Cc: line of the message instead
of just the addresses from the To: line. In other words, it is considered
a match if the pattern matches EITHER an address in the To: line OR an
address in the Cc: line. (Notice that defining the Recipient pattern does
not have the same effect as defining both the To and Cc patterns.
Recipient is To OR Cc; not To AND Cc. It is equivalent to having two
different rules; one with a To pattern and the other with the same Cc
pattern.)

Use the "Recip Pattern" instead, which matches To:, or Cc:

If you put something in multiple pattern fields, ALL FIELDS must match
for it to be considered a candidate.
