It would be theoretically possible to achieve the same result using a
combination of procmail, formail, sed, grep.  That way, you could have
all messages that mention you anywhere in the body of the message
directed straight to your inbox.

My mail gets filtered too.  But, when I receive a duplicate Cc'd
message... Whoosh.... straight to /dev/null.

I thought briefly about Cc'ing this message to you.  But I just
couldn't do it.  I'm a changed man. :-)

Hey, that's what I do.  It's just that I delete it before it gets to
the inbox.

I don't know if it is "wrong", it's just seems frightfully
inefficient.  You can keep doing it if you want, just be comfortable
with the fact that if you Cc anything from this list to me it will get 
deleted.  And also that I won't Cc anything from this list to you.
