Hi, fewdots.
One way to handle this is to highlight Fred's message, then click Actions |
Create rule from message. The Rules screen should open with the From... box
already checked and Fred's full address already entered in the description
box. You may edit it if you like, but what is already entered should be
correct since it is taken from Fred's message. It probably will show both
Fred Bloggs and his email address.
