I don't know TB's syntax, but I _think_ it would be difficult to filter 
on _only_ two; as you say, detecting a comma (in either To: or 
Followup-To:) will detect two _or more_. (Which, as you say, will 
eliminate most.)

If you only want to detect ones aiming at three _or more_, then 
searching for two commas (with wildtext between - that would be ,.*, in 
Turnpike - a post in this thread suggests it might be ,.+, in TB) should 
work; specifying _exactly_ three (i. e. two and only two commas) would I 
think be difficult.
