There was no point, that was just *information* for you
on what is contained in the fields.
 I only use 'h.fromID' in matches against address book entries.
  For example: h.fromid="$ag.bot-group$
All my other filters using from use the h.from or just the 'h'.

Also for info, the string comparisons are not exact
unless you specify them to be so. So h.from="thisname" should
return a match if 'thisname' is anywhere in the h.from field
(the name portion or the email address portion regardless).
