Hi Mark, This is not a direct answer to what you are looking for, but maybe it can help. I usually do my filtering for mailing lists based on List-Id message header. Like for this one, that's: List-Id: <misc.opensmtpd.org> and move them to a different folder, outside of INBOX. But you want them all in INBOX, so how about tag them with a different color perhaps? For example, in Thunderbird, you can do that in Tools -> Message Filters -> New -> Filter name: [e.g. opensmtpd-misc] -> Match any of the following -> Customize -> Add -> (enter here header name, i.e. List-Id). Click OK in this window. In Filter Rules window then choose [List-Id] [is] [misc.opensmtpd.org] and bellow: Perform these actions: [Tag Message] [choose you color] In Settings -> General -> Tags, you can customize colors or add new ones. I suppose something similar can be done in other mail clients as well. Hope this helps. -- Nikola Cakelic :: ncake...@chaky.eu :: https://photos.chaky.eu PGP fingerprint: 0AAD 3BA1 27A2 78AE 6DDB 5F92 DEFD 4AB3 82F5 3CF8
