Oo. That might be good. If the header said something unique to the header,
I could set the filter to search "Any header" contains the phrase. The good
things about [CF-TALK] are that it wouldn't be used anywhere else in the
header and it would be consistent. I'm not sure if other email clients
filter on "any header" though. Making the sender consistent would also be
good. If the sender *always* said the same thing, filtering on the sender
wouldn't be a problem.
