WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you must manually apply the mailbox rule actions to the mailing list message. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click the mailbox folder that contains the mailing list messages.
  2. Select the messages you want to apply the mailbox rule actions to.
  3. On the Message menu, point to Apply Rules, and then click All Rules if you want to apply all the mailbox rules, or click only the mailbox rule that you want to apply to the messages.

STATUS
