I'm trying to write a filter rule to move messages of this form:

  Received: by shrike.Austin.Lockheed.COM (4.1/1.49); Tue, 19 Feb 91 14:39:12 CST
  From: Daniel A Haug <aihaug@AUSTIN.LOCKHEED.COM>
  Message-Id: <9102192039.AA10872@shrike.Austin.Lockheed.COM>
  Subject: news status
  To: aihaug (Daniel A Haug)
  Date: Tue, 19 Feb 91 14:39:11 CDT
  ...

into a specific folder.  Here is the rule I wrote to try to do this:

if [from = "Daniel A Haug" and subject = "news status"] then
   save "/usr6/aihaug/Mail/news-status"


Its not working.  filter -s says that all messages are being processed
by the default rule.  filter -r says:

Rule 1:  if (from = "Daniel A Haug" and subject = "news status") then
	  Save /usr6/aihaug/Mail/news-status

Here is my .forward file:
    "| /usr7/pd/bin/filter -vo /tmp/aihaug.filter_errors"

My filter errors file has one each of this line:
   filter (aihaug): Mailing message to aihaug

What am I doing wrong?  I'm using Elm2.2 PL16.

Another question about filters: as soon as I started using this,
I no longer get biff-type notification at my terminal when new
mail has arrived.  Is there a way to still get notified for most
of my mail?

thanks,
