Filter problem

I've made a filter with only one rule - "from header contains <one  
specific e-mail adress>" but it shows, aside from desired e-mails,  a  
whole bunch of extra random e-mails including some from newsgroups. Any  
ideas?

I think it worked, thanks!
But now what's the "learning mode" role when it grabs whatever it
feels  
like without any obvious criteria?

Learning mode learns from the content of messages added to and removed  
 from the filter. If you only add but don't remove messages from the  
filter, it will quicky catch almost all messages because of common words  
accouring in them.

I understand but one rule filter (contain specific address) with learning  
mode on cought few hundred messages just after creation. It showed  
messages it should show plus 200+ newsgroup messages that definitely  
didn't contain mentioned criteria.

Aside the problem, you really don't need such filter.
Just create a contact for this person. On the contacts panel, click on it  
and you'll see ALL the messages TO/FROM this contact. On the View button  
you can set if you want to see only FROM messages, only TO messages or  
BOTH.

Hope this help you.
