I guess the bottom line is this. If you both are in the To: Line, there is
no way to get that email sent to both of your folders. In this case "her"
and "his". If you make any rule to copy or move the message to each
person's folder, one of the folders will receive both emails regardless.

I tried all the options. The best think is to just let the email come to the
Inbox and then drag each one's copy to their respective folders. Seems OE
would have a filter than would send one copy to just "his" and "her" folders
and not leave anything in the "Inbox" or grab both copies and move them to
one folder. I have tried the "stop processing rules" and that doesn't work
either. hmmm
