[thelist] Colouring email (was: Offtopic: Outlook - dumb question)

[Raymond Camden]

It doesn't seem to work. Again, the issue seems to be with naming. For
example, I get an email from Peter Farland, pfarland at macromedia.com, but
Outlook seems to only recognize the name, not the email address. You
know how in Outlook, "From" can be either the name or email addy? There
seems to be no way to make a rule that checks _just_ the email address.
