[gui-talk] OE message rules

[Laura Eaves]

Ok, I have a very weird problem with OE message rules that I hope someone 
can help me with.
Now I'd love to know the whole story about message rules -- is there some 
sinister, underlying rule I don't know about that would cause blocking rules 
to reappear that I had deleted, with no warning???

Here's the problem: I accidently added David Andrews to my blocking list 
some time ago when I was learning to do message rules, and immediately went 
in and deleted the rul that ablocked his address.  Then sometime later I 
noticed my deleted items bin was full of messages from Dave, and who knows 
how many I lost before discovering this...
Then I went to the message rules and there was the blocking rule that I had 
deleted -- so I deleted it again -- but now after months of the same thing 
happening, I am beginning to wonder if my pc has something against David 
Andrews (sorry Dave) or whether there is some system glitch or whether I am 
accidently restoring that rule.
I definitely have not done anything to block anyones email, including 
Dave's, and the fact that it doesn't happen to anyone else's address makes 
me think my system is somehow restoring that practice rule that I added and 
deleted so many months ago.
I just now removed the rule again for the 4th or 5th time, and I am getting 
paranoid -- and perhaps Dave is too! *smile*

Has anyone else had this type of problem, and can you think of anything I 
could have done to cause it?
Thanks in advance, and I'll try to check my deleted items folder in case 
Dave replies...*smile*

Never trust a computer...*smile*
