Actually it will. Using the List-Id header will give you false positives in a situation which happens to me relatively often -- if I'm not reading a certain mailing list, a colleague _knows_ this, sees something on the list and redirects it to me personally. If I filtered on the List-Id header this second copy would end up in the list folder instead of my inbox. There's also false negatives occasionally but they're rarer. Using the Sender header is far more reliable. Every message from the list has 'Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'; I filter every list on the Sender instead of anything else. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
