would you mind sharing that procmail filter? I'm fairly new to procmail
and want to see if my rule is similar to how others code it.

yes. most modern lists put some form of identifier into the subject,
many use the same [list-name] format, although most are smart enough
to drop the "-list" part. The claim I've always heard is that it's to
help people identify what messages came from the list as opposed to
directly to them. Personally I think this is a fairly bad way to do
it, I mean are there any mail viewers that aren't capable of filtering
and filing? (don't argue for mail or pine or their ilk, anyone using
them knows how to use procmail or the like, so that's not a valid
response.) I'd really like to see all the major mailers get together
and decide on a common X-Header: to identify list/group of origination.
Something we can easily filter on without sacraficing human usabilty,
like "X-mail-list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]".
