   Speaking of filters, here's an interesting "bug" that one of our
   users found. He created a filter to filter all mail from a mailing
   list to a folder. Simple right? Nope. The first letter began with 
   an "i", and he couldn't get it to filter out. Example:
    
      if ( from = "i----") then
         save -----

      if ( from = i----) then
         save -----

    none of the above cases worked. We then tried other words that began
    with "i" and they did not work either. Any ideas?

    

BTW: we are running elm 2.3 pl 6
