- Hi all--
-
- I am using filter for all of my mail, and I've gotten pretty complex.
- The other day I added a new group of rules, which bumped my total up
- to 26. At that point, I found that a filter summary gave really
- strange values for my last rule-- executed hundreds of millions of
- times for negative billions of percent!
-
- I removed one rule, to put me back down to 25, and the problem
- disappeared.
-
- I have looked through Configure and the filter sources, but I was
- never asked about 'number of rules' as I was about aliases, and I
- didn't see anything obvious in the filter code.
-
- Any help would be appreciated, since I would not only like to add that
- rule back in but can see a time when I would add yet more rules. This
- letter was sent to news (I hope!) via email, so please reply in kind.
-
- Thanks for you help :-)
-
- ObQuestion: So when is 2.4 coming out? ;-)
