Robert,

What you want to do is filter on the "Sender" field of the e-mail header...
NOT the "From" field.  The header will look something like this (you may
need to expand the e-mail header to see what I'm talking about)...

In list mode, the "Sender: owner-ihc@domain.elided" (or "Sender:
owner-ihc-digest@domain.elided" in the case of Digest mode) will always remain
the same, no matter who originated the message.  Searching for the
characters "ihc" anywhere in the sender field will catch them all.  I avoid
Outlook Express as much as possible, so you'll have to figure out the
logistics yourself! <grin>

Regards,

John
