        Let's take a specific example.  So I mail to that list.  I receive
the digest.  I know what I mailed to that list and I have a copy in the
sent-mail folder.  So I want to forward the mails comming from me to
/dev/null.  But this rule is valid _only_ to those lists.  Because some
times I mail to myself.  I'm not a nut case.  I need to find out the
message delays.  Or when I open another email address that it's actually a
forward to this mailbox.  In that case I have to test if the forward
works.  These mails don't have to be deleted.  Or let's say I'm annoyed by
somebody's posts on that list.  If he/she mails directly to me I want to
receive the message, else I want it deleted.  I thought about your
solution some time ago.  And it doesn't work because the digest doesn't
have enough headers to put a rule with two conditions (from me and from
the list).  Other trick I thought about was to put a key word in the
subject line and those mails containing it won't get deleted.  And thi
would work with my mails to myself.  But I can't ask someone else to
remeber a key word.
