I have an email with the following header line:

From: 'Thank you!Kohls' Kohls-MNc@FeedbackKohlsOpinionRequestedlxecrftHO.com

I am trying to match that with: if address :contains "from" "Thank you!Kohls" { addflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "Junk"; stop; }

However, the matching portion of the from address is only the section between < and >. Since there are changing sections that are different for each email, I can't use that. I wanted to match the stuff before <. I have tried numerous formats for the if statement but none of them have worked. What is the proper way to make that match work? Thanks,

I did what looked like the right thing in a sieve plugin for roundcube:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/abhpc7rf9rokmfl/junk_rule_for_sieve.png?dl=0

And this is what that created in the script. Only one word of difference from yours -- it looks at the entire From header and not an address.

# rule:[testing] if header :contains "from" "Testing" { addflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "Junk"; stop; }

Hope this helps.

Thanks. That was the magic incantation I needed.
