Gmail Filter tip

For the uninitiated, Filters in Gmail are useful for all sorts of things, not least of which is sorting your email as it enters your inbox. So anyway, I was setting up some of these filters to label (colored labels are pretty cool) my credit card emails, and I figured it was a little inefficient adding a separate filter for each company. After testing it a bit and realizing that "or" and commas between addresses in the "from" field weren't doing the trick, I went with the javascript way, since gmail is written mostly in that. It worked, and if you're interested in doing the same, here's an example of what you'd put in the from field to filter for multiple addresses:

*@*chase.com || *@*citibank.com || *@*discovercard.com

Similarly, you could also type the following into the search field to find from multiple addresses:

from:(*@*chase.com || *@*citibank.com || *@*discovercard.com)
