Well, I'm glad you didn't mistakenly think anyone said you HAD to do
it the right way! :)

But after all this time, one might think you'd have learned all about
email filters. This type of thing is what they're for.

Strangely, now that I get my email via gmail's AJAX web interface,
I've sort of had to unlearn filters, since they instead offer these
newfangled 'labels'. Ah well. Maybe I'll go back to using an old local
email client with no filters at all. Or not.
