[pmmail-list] Filtering to multiple folders

I intermittently try to come up with a way to filter messages to the folders belonging to the sender as well as all recipients.  For 
example, I occasionally carry on an e-mail exchange with messages being sent to 2 or 3 people, all actively involved in the 
discussion, and cc:'ed to others who are simply peripherally interested.  I would like for all messages to be copied to the 
folders of everyone getting a copy of it.  I have yet to come up with a way of doing this which doesn't also leave a copy in the 
inbox, which I don't want.

What I would like to do is have one filter for each person I correspond to regularly which copies their messages to their folder 
and sets some sort of flag.  At the end, a filter deletes every message with the flag set and leaves everything else in the inbox.  
I've never figured out what to do for such a flag.  I can set priority and read status, but cannot filter on them.  I don't know REXX, 
so I cannot simply write some sort of flag into the message that can subsequently be filtered on.

Is there some way to do this I am just missing?  If not, is there a good reference book for REXX that I can learn enough from 
quickly to write a script?

Thanks,

Wayne
