I'm currently using Opera, but that is really irrelevant, because the problem is that this list is breaking the rules - and refuses to look into fixing it. It doesn't help how many subscribers have no problems as long as there are some that have - and those problems are not caused by email clients, but some wrong settings in the mailinglist server. Take a look at these links to see how List-Id should be used: http://www.w3.org/Mail/subject-tagging http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2919.html http://al.mail-list.com/s/al/m/als/l/7615-RFC-2919-List-Id-Header and the RFC: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2919.txt I previously used Pegasus for many years, and there I had to set up a filter for each mailing list manually. But Operas mail has a lot of nice features that I'd hate to lose. An alternative would be to set up a new mail account only for this list, and read it online, losing all the nice functionality of Opera. But I find it quite silly that subscribers need to use such workarounds because there is little will to fix the errors where they originate? I have been using mailing lists for 21 years now, and currently subscribe to 44 lists + Legacy. None of them are changing their List-Id - ever!!! The sole purpose of an ID is to make it possible to identify something, be it a person, car or mailing-list or whatever. If it changes value in every mail, like it does on this list, it has no purpose whatsoever. Opera uses automatic filtering of mailing lists, trusting that list-owners are using the fields correctly - which this list is unfortunately not doing. I can filter on whatever I want to as well, but as Opera reads the List-Id, which changes in every mail here, it will interpret (quite correctly) each new mail as a new mailng list, with one single mail in it. As this list is pretty active I have to do a lot of cleanup and delete mailing lists all the time - once for every single mail. The paradox is that this list is using both List-Id and the X-Mailing-List field (non-standard, but quite often used (and handled great by Opera)). The X-Mailing-List is set up correctly, as : X-Mailing-List: [email protected] while the List-Id is not (changes in every mail).
