Yes it did.

1. You set this Header-item yourself in mail (Headerlist). I did not see
such a header ever before.

2. What I cannot see is which of the mails meet the criteria
"Resent-From". I see one mail with a red background in the mail list.
This view does not reveal much.

3. Are you sure you are not using a filter further up the filter list
that overrides the filter in question?

Could you copy the header of such a mail with option+command+u?

Hear from you
Jörg
