Worked. Thank you.
Rich, consider the question closed.

Hi Tim,

I just downloaded Thunderbird to take a look, and I haven't tested this, but you might try the following (have you already tried this? you mentioned List-ID, so maybe this doesn't work...):

- Open the filters dialog, click New
- Create a new filter (click the + in the top list)
- In the dropdown to select the message header to filter by, choose Customize
- Add "List-ID" as a new message header, click Add, click OK
- In the dropdown, select the new List-ID header (it's not selected by default even after the new addition) - For the match pattern, use "contains" and "clojure@googlegroups.com <mailto:clojure@googlegroups.com>"

If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll try troubleshooting it on my mail.

    Garth, J,

    It is precisely the point that I would like to differentiate emails
    away from my main inbox.

    I use thunderbird as my mail reader and I cannot find a way to
    differentiate clojure emails. I use the mailing list tag as a
    way to filter all other groups and they all seem to use the
    [groupname] tag convention.

    If you know of a way to filter emails by list-id in thunderbird
    I will withdraw the suggestion.

        I agree that this would obstruct the subject line needlessly, a
        particularly inconvenient thing for anyone who (like me) often
        reads
        list emails on devices with very small screens.

        The list is high-volume enough that I suspect the vast majority of
        readers filter list emails away from their main inbox. If this is
        right, the demand for subject-line differentiation is probably
        low.

                    For the other groups that I subscribe to, the

                    always prefixed with the group name, e.g.

                    Re: [sage-devel] This is the mail subject

                    This makes it possible to reliably group the
                    emails into folders.
                    Is it possible to do the same for Clojure and
                    Clojure-dev?
                It is possible for me to put a [Clojure] prefix on the
                emails. Does
                anyone have any objections to that?
            It pollutes the Subject line for no good reason, anyone
            can filter based
            on headers anyway. This is useful only for people who
            don't filter their
            mail and drop everything into one huge inbox.
