but not with the way reply-to was set on your message!
i removed the "to" filter I had for my clug emails last night, leaving
"from" and "cc" - filter no longer works (thunderbird). "to" is the one
for me. and "cc" catches a few from time to time...

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

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.
