Sorry, Robert,  I'm not sure I understand what you mean but I think
that something got lost in the translation.  The filter above was only
an example of a filter I designed to work for my email accounts.  You
need to create your own filter to work for your email accounts.  Since
your email address is Robert.Dahlem@gmx.net, two filters you could use
are   !(h.to="robert ")  or  !(h.to=" dahlem").  They would catch any
messages that don't have both your name and your email address in the
To: field of the message header.  To see the message header, press
Ctrl-v or Alt-v while reading the message in the  Message Read window.
