Harry, thanks for replying. This is what I have:

* A folder called “SubjectSenderFilter”. This is a regular folder where I put messages that I want to filter. It has two messages in it: * From: “Amazon Subscribe & Save”, Subject: “Review your upcoming delivery”
    * From: “Robert Wall”, Subject: “Your Invoice”
* A smart folder with two rules, “All” need to be true:
    * From->Name is in “SubjectSenderFilter” From->Name
    * Subject is in “SubjectSenderFilter” Subject

I sent myself a test message:

From: “Robert Wall”, Subject: “Review your upcoming delivery”

In other words, deliberately using a sender from one message and a subject from another. My smart folder matches my test message, and it shouldn’t.

The whole idea of this is that I can throw random messages that I get repeatedly in this folder, so it auto-moves them - but that doesn’t work if I can’t ensure “from” and “subject” are matching the same message.

If I understand, you want to manually move messages to an IMAP mailbox that contains template messages, and then have a virtual mailbox that selects messages in other mailboxes that match messages in the template mailbox. So, any message in other mailboxes whose "From:" and "Subject:" header fields are identical to any message in the template mailbox is selected by the virtual mailbox.

I can't think of a way to do that with MailMate's filtering ruleset.
