All Debian lists contain a line like the following: X-Loop: debian-user@lists.debian.org Unless the mail is sent to you via CC or BCC you can use this line for filtering issues. There is no need for mangled subject. Regards Joey -- / Martin Schulze * Debian GNU/Linux Developer * [EMAIL PROTECTED] / / http://www.debian.org/ http://home.pages.de/~joey/
