I'm not sure about Outlook's Inbox Assistant, but my Netscape
Communicator 4.0 filters and sends all web4lib material to a designated
folder. Simple rule logic is 
          TO: contains "web4lib"
since that is a unique string within that field. This is "contains"
rather than "equals," if the Inbox Assistant can apply that operator.
