You might like to try using procmail to filter your messages.

Your sorting problems should be solved in another way. I suggest you sort by the resent field.

[DEBIAN] Problem on filtering messages from the list
May I suggest all subscribers of this Debian list use some convention in sending messages to the list? I found it very difficult to differentiate between the messages from this Debian list and those from other lists. I used to sort it by the "To" field of the message, but later I found out there are messages arrived at my INBOX that are not sent TO the official list address "debian-user@lists.debian.org". Sometimes these messages are TO some other Debian or Linux list addresses but other times they are TO a person. This makes me feel puzzled. But maybe I join the list for a short time only. So could someone tell me what should I do to properly sort those messages from THIS Debian list? Could we simply use a convention in the message "Subject" field, like what I saw someone's doing (like the one in THIS message)? Best Regards Marcus Lam ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <>
