How to filter mails using special mail header attributes?

In my case I get emails in my mailbox addressed to 'undisclosed-recipients'. With this info I have no clue at whom they where meant to go to. Directly to me? To all students? Or to another special mailing-list?

So I can not set up filter and sorting rules for this. But I noticed if I look up the full mail header there are attributes like 'Resent-From' which actually show which list has gotten the mail.

So, how can I automatically sort mails using these special attributes (like 'Resent-From')?

Thanks in advance!

'Undisclosed-recipients' means the message was sent Bcc (blind carbon copy) to several recipients.

Open the filter creation window from Tools/Message Filters, click the drop-down that shows Subject, select Customize..., and add Resent-From as a custom header. Then, messages can be filtered according to that header, in addition to all the other items Subject, From, Date etc.

Thanks, that worked. I tried that before but noticed just now that this field is case sensitive.
