Complex GMail Filtering
A few days ago I ran in to a situation where I wanted Gmail to filter something based on the OR of a From: filter and a Subject: filter. In other words I get email from a website and I want to catch their From: email address as well as another criteria based on the Subject: line. In this case, I want to catch emails with From:bookmooch.com OR Subject:Bookmooch OR Subject:"Book received" OR ... (there are a few other cases. If you enter the From: and Subject: conditions in the google create-a-filter wizard they will be logically connected with AND by default; however, if you put the following:
from:bookmooch.com OR subject:bookmooch OR subject:"book received"
in the "Has the words" field. This works like a charm. I will probably be able to compress a few of my old filters into one with this tip.
