And since we're offering relevant computer advice, do NOT use the "BLOCK
SENDERS list" as your filter.
The "sender" of all of the emails on this list is
"Rhodes22-list-bounces at rhodes22.org". So, if you use the SENDER as the
filter, you'll filter out all of them.
Much better to use the "FROM", or even filter for "Politcal" (which,
unfortunately, wouldn't have caught it in this case, since it wasn't
labeled Political).
At this point, I'm not sure if this email is political or not, but it's
certainly not sailing related....
