well list-id filters do work. if you click "filter messages like this" on a message with a list-id header it uses that as the suggested filter. the comments field used to work when I previously subscribed via gmail. Then I unsubbed the gmail address, then recently resubbed. Now it doesn't work. > > Give me procmail any time... > yes i'd prefer that.
