I think i'd be less confused if i saw an unexpected vogon constructor fleet.

Quite simply, i look at the script below and think, "What The Photon is that?"

I'm a computer user, not a programmer.

If you don't mind i'll hang the basic rule, and do what almost always works 
for me, that being filtering on "to" in this case.

Out of KMails filter options, "to" seemed to be the most consistent in this 
case, apart from when things got tweaked/upgraded recently, but even so, that 
was just 10(?) messages that flew into my inbox out of several thousand, so 
i'll consider that a good enough strike rate not to write off "to" filtering 
yet.

For the record, i usually filter on "from" and drop frequent emailers messages 
into designated folders, leaving the inbox for messages that are unexpected, 
BCC addressed, or one offs. 

I only use "to" in this case, because it's a list that has ever varying 
senders and subjects, but has (had) a 100% constant recipient.

 My procmail filter coped just fine. The basic rule is: *never* filter on
 To:, simply because it doesn't work. If your filter is intelligent and
 examines both to: and cc: when the sender uses cc: to you, you're lucky,
 but it'll never work if the sender uses bcc:.
 
 Here's my procmail snippet:
 
 #      CLUG
 :0
 * ^Comments: University of Canterbury Linux Users
 * 1^0 ^TOlinux-users@(|(it|its|cantva|csc).)canterbury.ac.nz
 * 1^0 ^List-Subscribe: 
*<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 * -0^0 .
 {
   # PLONKers
   #:0 
   #* ^From:.* [...]
   #/dev/null
 
   # save what's left
   :0:
   $THISLISTS/Linux-users-Chch-List
 }
 
 Oops so I am filtering on to:, but it's an alternative. The only other 
headers
 one can filter on are comment: and list-subscribe:. Before someone
 points out that there is list-unsubscribe: too, that's not going to be
 any more stable than list-subscribe.
