Yes, you're using gmail ;) That mail service is target at the average mass computer user. With predictable results - as that main target audience wouldn't know what an email header is let alone what comment: means, my guess is google didn't bother to implement filtering on anything but to:, from: and subject:. Like all the other GUI email clients like thunderbird etc. That also means sticking a List-id: header on this list doesn't help at all. Give me procmail any time... Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
