There should be a LIST ID header you can filter on which might help.

unfortunately, not everyone can filter on headers like that. gmails filters are restricted to to, from, subject, and message content (i've got an enhancement request in to expand it). lots of gui mail clients are similarly restricted.


Not necessarily... obviously there's nothing one can do about gmail, but I just did a test on Thunderbird, which does not "natively" give you the List-Id header as a choice in the message filters fields.


However, it does allow the user to customize the filters, so I showed all headers from one of the list mails, and found the correct name of the header (List-Id), and added it as a filter, copying the returned ID from the email into the "is" field. I then removed all of the previous filters I had been using (To:, etc), leaving the List-Id as the only filter.

Works perfectly for this list, the wine-users list and the wine-devel list.

And if Thunderbird can do it, Mozilla probably can too. KMail, I don't know.

Anyway, my point is, the restrictions may be illusory, and it may be quite possible for many or most gui clients to filter on List-Id. Certainly the most popular/default ones.
