Andy G [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:Sure, as do a lot of people. But I have found that sometimes the mail rules/filters get confused and redistribute posts elsewhere. Anything else you can use to help the filter engine is, IMO, useful.
I set up a rule to check for "PCI" and "PowerMac" in the sender address, and its worked flawlessly.
Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:It is possible to lose some of the end words in the line, particularly annoying in a foreshotened browser column.
I totally agree. Anybody who is having issues just needs to set up the filter or rule with something more specific to the list. In my first attempt, I used "PCI PowerMac" and it didn't always work, but when I changed it to check for "PCI" and "PowerMac" separately, it has worked flawlessly.
Here is the To: header for this message as I received it.
To: "PCI PowerMacs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
If you just setup a filter for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the To: field you should get 99+% of the messages filtered correctly. I find a few messages don't get properly filtered and it's because the original poster has something goofy in their headers. I either setup an additional filter (Eudora allows for one criteria OR a second criteria in the filter) or just read the message out of the In box if that person only posts occasionally.
Filtering on the mailing list address is much more exact than using "PCI PowerMacs". You might end up someday subscribing to some other mailing list that could be called "G3 PC PowerMacs" and have a problem. The e-mail address is unique so there shouldn't be a problem. The area I do have with that is when the message is mailed to several lists and the additional addresses are propagated through the mailing list software.
