In 'Message List' select the email to open and display in 'Message Pane'. Via 'Menu Bar' toolbar 'Message' > 'Create filter from message'

If 'Menu Bar' toolbar is not enabled then do this: 'Menu app icon' (3 lines) > 'View' > 'Toolbars' > select 'Menu Bar'

That was it. I thought the new version had taken away the facility but it had just removed the Menu Bar. All working now, many thanks.
