Auto Filter on Domain name including saved contacts

A co-worker recently posed this question to me and I got stumped.

He is trying to automatically format / filter his e-mail in Outlook 2007 so
that all e-mails from a particular domain (e.g. (e-mail address removed),
(e-mail address removed)) are highlighted. How do you get Outlook to filter when you have
saved contacts? It appears that Outlook won't filter on those since the
names populate in.

His e-mail:
------------------------------------
Outlook > View [menu] > Current View [menu] > Customize Current View [menu
option] > Automatic Formatting [button]
Click Add [button] > type in name of new View
Click Font [button] > change font to whatever
Click Condition [button] > Advanced [tab]

These conditions/criteria (with or without the “@â€) will only highlight rows
in your particular custom font when the actual “From†field is not a saved
contact, meaning the “From†field is like (e-mail address removed) or
(e-mail address removed). If the email address is part of a contact and not
the actual “From†field, it ignores this.

Is there a way around this?
