When pulling up the "Rules & Alerts" tool, some rules have a hammer and
wrench symbol on the same line.  What does this mean?

It means that the rule actions conclude with a "Stop Processing More 
Rules" action so that if a message meets its criteria none of the 
succeeding rules will be applied.

Not exactly.  It means that the rule contains an action, not just the "stop
processing" action.

Well, actually we're both wrong.  It means that the rule contains more 
than one action. :-)

I just tested it.  The icon appears with a single action.

Well, I decided that the best way to find out the real answer was to go to 
the top.  So I checked with my contacts at MS, they checked with the 
person who actually coded it and discovered that what it means is...

.....other.  "It's the icon for things we didn't do icons for."

Amazing.  :-)

Now we know.
