My Rule for sending e-mail solicitations to Junk E-mail works for everything
but flower solicitations, which remain in my Inbox. I've created over a
dozen rules for the same flower solicitor, but its e-mails ignore the Rule
and stay in my Inbox. What's wrong with the Rule? Can I fix it?

What are the details of the rule?

I hit only the "from" box and the box that sends e-mail from that sender to
Junk.

You are probably being spammed from different fake addresses which makes the
messages look different than the one you added.

These are established companies (e.g. Flowers.com) I've done business with
before, so they wouldn't want to use fake addresses. Nevertheless, I'll save
and compare the next two I receive to see if they're different.

There are a lot of established companies who are unfortunately now having
their name and addresses used as spam.
