   Bingo. I had the Filters screen set to the Default "Match all of the   
   following" which, initially, worked ..... but, now that one of the three   
   conditions has been changed, the filter cannot work.   
      
   I've adjusted it to "Match any of the following".   
      
   Let's see if that fixes things. ;-P (maybe not tonight, as I've already   
   downloaded the message numbers, but let's see!!)
