What does "Any recipient" mean?

I'm just starting to fully utilize Mail Views in Entourage 2004. I
think I get most of the tricks, but I'm unclear on a couple of the
Criteria names:

What does "Any Recipient" mean? How is it different from "Any To
Recipient" ?

What does "Only Recipient" mean?

What does "Reply-To" mean? Does it mean that If I sent messages to Joe,
these will not be found by this rule? And that only when I reply BACK
to Joe, will those messages be found?

I know, these are so basic that even the Help file doesn't describe
this list.

"Any Recipient" should mean: Any "To" or "CC" entry. I don't know if
if would apply to "BCC" since you would not see them by definition. BCC
entries *might* be considered if you were applying the filter on
outgoing mail.

"Only Recipient" is one I don't know. Sorry. :-(

"Reply-To" means that when your correspondent replies to your message,
it will go the address listed in the "Reply-To" field. This is useful
if you have a preferred alias for your email or you will be using a
different account for any further correspondence on that subject or from
that person.

Correct - BCC would be considered if the rule (or search) applied to
outgoing mail.

Where there is only oner recipient, and that recipient contains....
"Reply-To" means that when your correspondent replies to your message,
it will go the address listed in the "Reply-To" field. This is useful

It is also useful for filtering messages from some badly configured mailing
lists that do not play well with the mailing list manager - often there is
no good way to distinguish these mails except for the reply-to address.
