I have been unable to find an understandable answer to this question.
RSS feeds - I have the option within RSS filters to test for Tags.
Options include IS, ISN'T, CONTAINS, and others.
How do I test for tags?
I have tried, for example,
Tag ISN'T Personal
Tag ISN'T 3
Tag CONTAINS Personal
What is the proper syntax?

BONUS: I have found reference to a UserChrome.css file. I have done a
search if Vista but came up empty. Should I have such a file?

I do not understand your question. You can assign a message tag in a
filter action, but which tag are you filtering on?

I highlight RSS in the left pane and then select 'Manage Message Filters.'
Select a New Rule
Under 'For incoming messages that: Match any of the following,'
I select the 1st (left) dropdown menu and select 'Tag.'
In the 2nd (center) dropdown menu I select 'Contains.'
In the 3rd (right) dropdown - what do I put in there?

It entirely depends on what you meant by 'to test for Tags' .
Do you want to do something depending on the presence of a particular
tag in RSS post ?

Using an 'If . . then' instead of a filter, something similar to "If a
post is tagged IMPORTANT, move to folder x. I presume the 'Tag' option
in the leftmost dropdown box means I can test for the presence of a
particular tag.

And a bonus question . . .
In TB I have the PRIORITY column showing in every RSS feed. I have
created a filter changing some posts to HIGHEST priority.
In one sense, the filter works. If I create a second rule and move all
HIGHEST priority posts to another folder, the rule works perfectly.
In another, it doesn't work. I expected to see 'HIGHEST' in the
Priority column beside the appropriate posts. I do not. Nothing shows
in the Priority column. I can set the filter to flag ALL posts as
either HIGHEST or NORMAL. Still I get no indication in the Priority
column. That is, UNLESS I also set a flag. In this case, all posts
that match the filter show as HIGHEST in the Priority column and show
the proper tag in the 'Tag' column.
Is there a way to get the priority to appear in the 'Priority' column
WITHOUT setting a tag?

In the filter list , is 'set priority' filter listed before 'move to'
filter ? Otherwise 'set priority' filter will never work .
Btw , I have just tested with a filter like this

Subject - Doesn't contain - aasdasasd
Set Priority to - Highest

An it works fine .

Listing of names of all Tags present in your TB .
Or in other word , names of all Tags that a message in your TB can contain .

Oh, good. Ummm, what goes in the rightmost dropdown? Can't find the
answer in a Mozilla search.
