Is there a way to filter an incoming email for "Reply to"?

I've recently started getting some unwanted email where the "From" is always different, but the "Reply to" after the @ is most always the same. When using the Message Filters there is almost everything you can think of for filtering an email except "Reply to", and using just "To" does not work on the emails I want to trash before I even see them. Is there a way to filter incoming email for "Reply to"? Thanks, Max

You need to view message source (ctrl-u) to see the headers and learn their precise formulation.

Use a custom filter - select 'Customize...' instead of Subject, From, etc New Message Header is 'Reply-To' (no colon)

Reply-To - is - '12345@somedomain.com' or Reply-To - contains - @somedomain

Thank you very much. That works great. Without success I had tried doing 'Customize' but did not realize I needed to use a dash in between 'Reply' and 'to' instead of a space. Thanks again Max
