Default Message rule being bypassed ??

I have made a rule requiring messages with "mcibatreasurer in the to or from
lines" to be transferred to a special folder. With most messages this is
working well but a couple recently have remained in the in-box and I expect
these are spam (if not more sinister).

Here is the message source for one of these :-

Return-Path:
X-Original-To:
X-Envelope-To:

Delivered-To:

Received: from 234-200-246-201.adsl.terra.cl (234-200-246-201.adsl.terra.cl
[201.246.200.234])

Message-ID: 01c8fb37$446fa680$eac8f6c9@supports
From: "Evangeline Blake"
To:


The problem is that neither the "To:", nor the "From:" include the text
string, "mcibatreasurer".

MS Outlook Express does not look at the "X-Original-To:", or the
"X-Envelope-To:" lines. It does not look at any other header lines that
"From:", "To:" (and/or "Cc:"), and "Subject:".
