Re: it's much quieter...

Maybe I have misread your post , but instead of having mozilla filtering 
the lists etc why not just setup procmail and access the mail server 
using imap, that way you can use mulitple clients and not have to worry 
about filtering at the client end.
Procmail can filter on list matchs/to from cc etc just as most clever 
clients these days.

Dale,
How? filter out every occurrence of the offending email? I use procmail
for local delivery to courier, behind sendmail 8.13 with rbs (ordb and
spamhaus)/mailwasher spam filtering. It would be preferable ( as an
'academic' exercise ) to filter out everything before local delivery if
possible.
Cheers,
Steve

Use procmail or similar on the mail server , doesnt matter how "clever"
your client is then .

Not perfect for cleaning up mail lists, although that's not really what
it's for.
And before you point out... due to the volumes of mail lately, I've had
to
transfer the clug mail list to my personal mail server, and I keep up to
date using squirrelmail, which doesn't have any clever filtering ( you
try
the mailing list over GPRS (: ). Interestingly, the mail filters that I
set up from mozilla fo redirect to subfolders work. All I have to do is
to
leave mozilla up reading my mail at home!
