That will make no difference at all. Newlines are treated as any other
white space in filters.
I'm not sure what you are wanting to do here. Boolean combinations
involving negations are notoriously tricky to get one's head round.
I suspect you need some combination of "and", "or" and parentheses.
Maybe you can more easily write it the other way round, for messages you
do *not* want to save. Would this be something like
if
$header_To: contains "ohboy@???" or
$header_To: contains "labour@???" or
$header_Cc: contains "ohboy@???" or
$header_Cc: contains "labour@???" or
then
finish (i.e. don't save)
endif
? The negation of that condition is
if not (
$header_To: contains "ohboy@???" or
$header_To: contains "labour@???" or
$header_Cc: contains "ohboy@???" or
$header_Cc: contains "labour@???" or
)
then
which is easier to read. However, by the normal rules of Boolean
expressions, that is exactly equivalent to
if
$header_To: does not contain "ohboy@???" and
$header_To: does not contain "labour@???" and
$header_Cc: does not contain "ohboy@???" and
$header_Cc: does not contain "labour@???" and
which is what you said you didn't want ....
