How can I filter emails from a distribution list, seperating any addressed to me in particular?

0

I am on distribution list +Support, and want to seperate:

  1. Emails that come to me just because I am in +Support
  2. Emails that have +Support in it but also have me in the email TODO.

is this possible in Outlook with a custom rule/filter?
