Re: Choosing a different set of recipients

Yes, it is definitely the blue arrow that has been greyed. The one at the
top of the column that was used to filter.

When I click on the arrow, All is an option but choosing it just results in
the few records that I have just used.

Choosing Clear doesn't do anything and neither does advanced. The system
does not seem to think that there has been any selection. It is as if the
database only has those records once I have selected the filter.
