Documentation for Filters
The "Filters" documentation assumes we know what "From" means (or Send, Subject, etc).
I receive email From
"American Home Warranty Affiliate oixsdf@asdflkfd.com".
If my filter says: If From contains "American"... Will that apply to this email? Or do I have to reference the random string "oixsdf", which changes with each email (and would make filters useless)?
Are Filters case sensitive? Is
From "American" the same as
From "american"?
Which brings me to a related point - It would be VERY useful, both for testing new filters, AND for catching up with 4500 existing emails, if Filters could be applied to previously-received-emails in a specific folder...

Based on today's inbox, it would seem that
If From contains "American"...
does not work. Since most of my junk mail apparently uses random strings for email addresses, and routinely shuffles domain names, this makes Filters darned near useless.
