I'm new to this mailing list (as of yesterday) but I already agree
with what Ryan wrote. There is NO inconvience is having an
[AMU] appended to the front/end of a message subject; and frankly being
on a couple dozen different mailing lists and recieving on the order of
200 emails a day, things like what was suggested only helps in the long
run.
Mitch - Can you explain in 100 words or less specifically how to filter
the email to do something like this on a RH system? or how one can do
this if they don't have root access? Specific program filters and
howto's would be nice.
